We thy sons and daughters stand Strong and firm in peace or danger To safeguard our native land We commit ourselves to building A true nation brave and free ; Ever striving, ever seeking, Dwell in love and unity Raise the standard ! Raise it boldly ! Answer now to duty 's call To the service of thy country, Sparing nothing, giving all ; Gird your loins and join the battle ' Gainst fear, hate and poverty, Each endeavouring, all achieving, Live in peace where man is free. God of nations, let Thy blessings Fall upon this land of ours ; Rain and sunshine ever sending, Fill her fields with crops and flowers ; We her children do implore Thee, Give us strength, faith, loyalty, Never failing, all enduring To defend her liberty.
