Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCCCBDDEEEFFFB GGBBBCCCB| IN the greyness of the dawning we have seen the pilot star | A |
| In the whisper of the morning we have heard the years afar | A |
| Shall we sleep and let them be | B |
| When they call to you and me | B |
| Can we break the land asunder God has girdled with the Sea | B |
| For the Flag is floating o er us | C |
| And the track is clear before us | C |
| From the desert to the ocean let us lift the mighty chorus | C |
| For the days that are to be | B |
| We have flung the challenge forward Brothers stand or fall as One | D |
| She is coming out to meet us in the splendour of the Sun | D |
| From the graves beneath the sky | E |
| Where Her nameless heroes lie | E |
| From the forelands of the Future they are waiting our reply | E |
| We can face the roughest weather | F |
| If we only hold together | F |
| Marching forward to the Future marching shoulder firm together | F |
| For the Nation yet to be | B |

| All the greyness of the dawning all the mists are over past | G |
| In the glory of the morning we shall see Her face at last | G |

| He shall hail her crowned and free | B |
| Could we break the land asunder God has girdled with the Sea | B |
| For the Flag is floating o er us | C |
| And the star of Hope before us | C |
| From the desert to the ocean brothers lift the mighty chorus | C |
| For Australian Unity | B |
