Isabela Hymn Song Lyrics

These are the lyrics for the official hymn song of the province of Isabela in the Philippines. The lyrics were written by Avelina N. Cabasal and the music was composed by Lucio San Pedro.

Isabela a home endeared by man upright and free
A land where peace and love abide
Where man of truth reside
Endowed with rich and glorious past
A heritage known and vast
From Palanan to Jones they stood
For freedom and for truth.

Her shining rivers teem with fish and mountains lush with trees
Her fertile fields abound with yields are blessings for our needs

Bless Isabela gracious Lord!
And keep her in your fold
In unison we all proclaim
Her providential fame.

Bless Isabela gracious Lord!
And keep her in your fold
In unison we all proclaim
Her providential fame.


Ilocano / Iloko Version


Isabela, taeng a pag-naedan dagiti nalinteg
Taeng dagiti natalna, naayat ken napudno’t
panagbiagda

Addan nabaknang a kapadasan
Kadagiti panawen a napalabas
Diay Palanan aginggana’t Jones
Waya-waya koma inda magun-od

Kabakiran ken karkarayan pag-gapuan
adu a pagimbagan
Tal-talon ken bang-bangkag pag-gapuan
taraon a nawadwad

O Apo Dios a managayat unay
Isabela inka bendisiyonan
Agkaykaysa-tay a mangipak-daar
Kinarang-ayna intay itag-ay (2x)
