Grenada had its own anthem but unlike the other states, which by and large adopted these anthems as their national anthem upon full independence. However Grenada’s “National and State Anthem” (1967-1974) was not used when independence was granted, instead adopting “Hail Grenada” upon independence in 1974.The words of the national motto, “Ever Conscious of God We Aspire, Build and Advance as One People”, appear in the lyrics. Grenada also still retains the British monarch as their head of state, and thus has the British anthem as their royal anthem. .................................The national anthem of Grenada vocal with karaoke subtitles+ accordion orch. instrumental."Hail Grenada" has been the national anthem of Grenada since independence from the United Kingdom in 1974.
