Ilocos Sur Hymn Song Lyrics

These are the lyrics for the official hymn song of the province of Ilocos Sur. The lyrics were written by Natividad Buenavista while the music was composed by Anselmo Pelayre.

Where the brave heroes fought for freedom
And her men and women bring her fame
That's the province we cherish forever
Whose glory we will treasure and proclaim
There is peace o'ver the hills and the valleys
There is joy amidst the verdant plains
That's the place we call our own
Ilocos Sur beloved home
Ever ours wherever we may roam

Ilocos Sur the land of the free
Home of men strong in faith and unity
With a people courageous bright and fair
Dedicated to strive with toil and care
Ilocos Sur Ilocos Sur
With your guide and light we will never fail

Where the brave heroes fought for freedom
And her men and women bring her fame
That's the province we cherish forever
Whose glory we will treasure and proclaim
There is peace o'ver the hills and the valleys
There is joy amidst the verdant plains
That's the place we call our own
Ilocos Sur beloved home
Ever ours wherever we may roam
