HOPE Of the Nation, LunaIlo rise,
A people calls thee. hearkcn aud be wise
frum isle 10 isle spontaneous voices sing
God save our Chief Of chiefs, our Tightfui King
The Almighty Ruler DER the thrones of earth,
Knowing the future, marked thee az thy birth
To be the monarch, DER the waiting isles,
Aud bask at length In Fortunes Evoring smiles,
There was a silver lining TO The cloud
That seemed awhile thy brightness TO enAhroud
And now enVeied, the lustre OF Thy name.
Shines forth ~enbazoned on the Scroll OF Fame.
Marx well the motto Of thy Island Throne
The Nations life on goodness rests alone.
BE just, and fear not all may not approve,
What matters IL, II lie who rcigns above
BestOw the blessing Of His peace and love.
In sweet alliance with the good and pure,
We pray thy happiness may long endure
May new born joys attend each opening year,
And to thy subjects make thy Fame more dear
To aid each weak rosolve-strcngth 90 defy
The tempters power, with purpose firm and high
BE this our prayer, as loud our voices ring,
With glad acclaim, God bless our Gracious King :
