The Irish Rugby Legends Anthem

"Ireland's Call"

The Irish Legends have adopted Ireland's Call as their anthem, you will have heard this at all Ireland International rugby games as it has replaced Amhrán na bhFiann (A Soldier's Song) which is the official Eire National Anthem.

The song was written by Phil Coulter, who was commissioned by the Irish Rugby Football Union to write an anthem in 1995. At most rugby union matches today, only the first verse is sung, followed by the chorus in the same key. The chorus is then repeated in a higher key; at the end, the last line is repeated.

Lyrics

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Chorus
Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

From the mighty Glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick
To Dublin town
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
(Chorus)

Hearts of steel
And heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until
We can fight no more
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
(Chorus)
