In Plenty and In Time of Need is the national anthem of the country of Barbados. It was written by Irving Burgie (1926–) and was composed by C. Van Roland Edwards (1912–1985). As one part of the West Indies Federation from 1958–1962, Barbados' anthem was supposed to be Forged from the Love of Liberty (which is currently the national anthem of Trinidad and Tobago), however the current anthem was created with Barbados' moves toward full independence. This song was then adopted by Barbados when it became independent in 1966. == Lyrics == In plenty and in time of need When this fair land was young Our brave forefathers sowed the seed From which our pride was sprung A pride that makes no wanton boast Of what it has withstood That binds our hearts from coast to coast The pride of nationhood Chorus: ''We loyal sons and daughters all'' ''Do hereby make it known'' ''These fields and hills beyond recall'' ''Are now our very own'' ''We write our names on history's page'' ''With expectations great'' ''Strict guardians of our heritage'' ''Firm craftsmen of our fate'' The Lord has been the people's guide For past three hundred years. With Him still on the people's side We have no doubts or fears. Upward and onward we shall go, Inspired, exulting, free, And greater will our nation grow In strength and unity.
