While they were still in Bethlehem, the time came for Mary to give birth. Then she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger (lit. "''a certain kind of box where people used to put hay for animals to eat''"). They did so, because there was no room in the inn for them to stay.

CHORUS:<br/>
We are, we are, we are happy to proclaim<br/>
We are, we are, we are the people of Vanuatu!

God has given us this land;<br/>
We are grateful for it,<br/>
We are strong, we are free in this land;<br/>
We are all brothers!

CHORUS

We have many traditions<br/>
And also many modern ways,<br/>
But we are all one<br/>
And this is who we are.

CHORUS

We know there is much work to be done<br/>
On all our islands.<br/>
God helps all of us,<br/>
He is our Father.
