- General Note:
- This national anthem pre-dates the current Haitian national anthem
- General Note:
- This anthem is alternately known as a Christian National anthem. Alternate texts are known to exist. It was commonly sung to the tune known in the America's as Samuel Francis Smith's "America" (My Country, 'Tis of Thee), published in 1831. The tune is better know in the United Kingdom and would have been better known to the Wesleyan community in Haiti as that of "God Save the Queen", published in 1744. Haitians, themselves, perhaps would have known the tune as "Grand Dieu, sauvez le Roi!", an unofficial French royalist national anthem likely published before 1687 and in use in France and French colonies until 1792
