Heather land and bent land
Black land and white
God bring me to Northumberland
The land of my delight.

Land of singing waters
And winds from off the sea
God bring me to Northumberland
The land where I would be.

Heather land and bent land
And valleys rich with corn
God bring me to Northumberland
The land where I was born.

Wilfred Gibson (1878 - 1962)
