| And a blessing on thee rest | B |
| While the heather waves its purple bell | A |
| O'er moor and mountain crest | B |
| While stream to stream around thee calls | C |
| And braes with broom are drest | B |
| Glad be the harping in thy halls | C |
| A blessing on thee rest | B |

| While the high voice from thee sent forth | D |
| Bids rock and cairn reply | E |
| Wakening the spirits of the North | D |
| Like a chieftan's gathering cry | E |
| While its deep master tones hold sway | F |
| As a king's o'er every breast | B |
| Home of the Legend and the Lay | F |
| A blessing on thee rest | B |

| Joy to thy hearth and board and bower | G |
| Long honours to thy line | H |
| And hearts of proof and hands of power | G |
| And bright names worthy thine | H |
| By the merry step of childhood still | I |
| May thy free sward be prest | B |
| While one proud pulse in the land can thrill | I |
| A blessing on thee rest | B |
