Gibraltar retains as its official anthem God Save The Queen in common with the other United Kingdom dependencies. However, it also has its own local anthem which was chosen in a comptetition in 1994. Both the lyrics and music were composed by Peter Emberley.

English lyrics

Gibraltar, Gibraltar the rock on which I stand,

May you be forever free, Gibraltar, my own land.

Mighty pillar, rock of splendour, guardian of the sea,

Port of hope in times of need, rich in history.

Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand,

May you be forever free, Gibraltar my own land.

God give grace to this our homeland, help us to live as one,

Strong in freedom, truth and justice, let this be our song:

Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand,

May you be forever free, Gibraltar! Gibraltar! My own land.
