Stand Ye Guamanians ( ), generically known as The Guam Hymn, is the official territorial anthem of Guam. Adopted in 1919, the words and music were written in English by Dr. Ramon Manalisay Sablan. The Chamorro translation was the work of Lagrimas L.G. Untalan; it is this later version that enjoys wider usage today.
As a United States dependency, the official national anthem is still the "Star Spangled Banner", which is always played before the Guam Hymn on official occasions. The Guam Hymn, however, is played alone at international sports competitions.
