With All Her Might

In the walls of Intramuros
Whence she came as spark
Signalled the dawning of truth
To this very beautiful land

Thenceforth her moral teachings
Reached the remotest islands
Like a towering lighthouse
The lost traveler’s only guide

She instilled love for the country
And worship to the Almighty
She made heroes of our race
And the martyrs of our faith

Through many wars and turmoil
She was the nurse and doctor
During peace and conciliation
She was the mother to us all

For centuries she glistened
Lighting the whole archipelago
She led and guided the faithful
To reading and living the bible

She brought a number of souls
To the knowledge of the truth
And propagated the doctrine
Even beyond our shores

She did proclaim the Word
As she defended the Church
She ardently spread the light
Verily, with all her might.
