"Isle of Beauty, Isle of Splendour" is the popular title for the national anthem of the Commonwealth of Dominica. It was adopted upon the island gaining statehood in 1967 and again with Dominica's independence in 1978. The lyrics are by Wilfred Oscar Morgan Pond (1912–1985) and the music was composed by Lemuel McPherson Christian OBE (1917–2000).
