    Here are a couple of lyrics for Highland Cathedral. The Kelly being probably the most popular.
    HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL -by Ben Kelly
    VERSE 1.
    Land of our fathers, we will always be
    Faithful and loyal to our own country.
    In times of danger, we will set you free.
    Lead you to glory and to victory.
    VERSE 2.
    Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer.
    In this Highland Cathedral, let our standards, bear.
    Joining, together, with one dream to share.
    God bless the people of this land so fair.
    CHORUS
    Gone is the past, let us start anew.
    Let this hope of peace, always remain.
    Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true.
    Then your children will smile again, again, again, again.
    VERSE 3.
    Rise, Caledonia, let your voices ring
    In this Highland Cathedral of our God and King.
    Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring.
    Come; let your heart, with love and courage, sing.
    CHORUS
    Lonely the exile, o'er distant seas,
    The home of their birth, gone from their eyes.
    Bring back their souls o'er the ocean breeze
    To the land where their fathers lie.

    REPEAT LAST VERSE.

    Highland Cathedral - Moira Kerr
    Land of the thistle and the rowan tree,
    Scotland a nation, proud and free.
    Under the Saltire, flying high for me,
    Leading us onward to victory.

    Aiming high for all to see,
    Together we stand, with faith in our land.
    In times of trial and in victory,
    Scotland we will be there.

    High in the mountains the die was cast,
    By our forefathers in the past.
    Vows of unity and peace were made,
    In a Highland cathedral, where the pipers played.

    Aiming high for all to see,
    Together we stand, with faith in our land.
    In times of trial and in victory,
    Scotland we will be there.

    Land of the thistle and the rowan tree,
    Scotland a nation, proud and free.
    Under the Saltire, flying high for me,
    Leading us onward to victory.
