Isabela City Hymn Song Lyrics (Basilan)

These are the lyrics for the official hymn song and anthem of Isabela City in the province of Basilan in Mindanao.

Dear Isabela land of the free
God's blessing shine on thee
With all the good and brotherhood
A great new city you'll be

Dear Isabela cradle of love
The only one we have
We'll work and toil, at sea and soil
And make you great as can be

So endless peace shall reign on every tribe
We'll live as one and dream as one contented family
And endless peace shall light the city bright
Prosperity with dignity in one community

Let's give Isabela our hope, love and honor
Let's sing of her beauty and fame
Come let's all hand in hand work for the better
Hold high Isabela City's name

Dear Isabela land of the free
God's blessing shine on thee
With all the good and brotherhood
A great new city you'll be

Dear Isabela cradle of love
The only one we have
We'll work and toil, at sea and soil
And make you great as can be
