I	A
	-
Brothers from far away lands	B
Sons of the fathers of fame	C
Here are our hearts and our hands	B
This is our song of acclaim	C
Lords from magnificent zones	D
Shores of superlative sway	E
Awful with lustre of thrones	D
This is our greeting to day	E
Europe and Asia are here	F
Shining they enter our ports	D
She that is half of the sphere	G
Beams like a sun in our courts	D
Children of elders whose day	E
Shone to the planet s white ends	D
Meet in the noble old way	E
Sons of your forefather s friends	D

II	A
	-
Dressed is the beautiful city the spires of it	H
Burn in the firmament stately and still	I
Forest has vanished the wood and the lyres of it	H
Lutes of the sea wind and harps of the hill	I
This is the region and here is the bay by it	H
Collins the deathless beheld in a dream	J
Flinders and Fawkner our forefathers grey by it	H
Paused in the hush of a season supreme	J
Here on the waters of majesty near to us	D
Lingered the leaders by towers of flame	C
Elders who turn from the lordly old year to us	D
Crowned with the lights of ineffable fame	C

III	A
	-
Nine and seventy years ago	K
Up the blaze of yonder bay	E
On a great exalted day	E
Came from seas august with snow	K
Waters where the whirlwinds blow	K
First of England s sons who stood	L
By the deep green bygone wood	L
Where the wild song used to flow	K
Nine and seventy years ago	K
	-
Five and forty years ago	K
On a grand auspicious morn	M
When the South Wind blew his horn	M
Where the splendid mountains glow	K
Peaks that God and Sunrise know	K
Came the fearless famous band	N
Founders of our radiant land	N
From the lawns where roses grow	K
Five and forty years ago	K

IV	-
	-
By gracious slopes of fair green hills	D
In shadows cool and deep	O
Where floats the psalm of many rills	D
The noble elders sleep	O
But while their children s children last	P
While seed from seedling springs	D
The print and perfume of their past	P
Will be as deathless things	D
	-
Their voices are with vanished years	D
With other days and hours	D
Their homes are sanctified by tears	D
They sleep amongst the flowers	D
They do not walk by street or stream	J
Or tread by grove or shore	Q
But in the nation s highest dream	J
They shine for evermore	Q

V	-
	-
By lawny slope and lucent strand	N
Are singing flags of every land	N
On streams of splendour bays impearled	N
The keels are here of all the world	N
With lutes of light and cymbals clear	G
We waft goodwill to every sphere	G
The links of love to day are thrown	R
From sea to sea from zone to zone	R
And lo we greet in glory drest	N
The lords that come from east and west	N
And march like noble children forth	S
To meet our fathers from the North	S
	-
	-
	-
VI	-
	-
To Thee be the glory All Bountiful Giver	T
The song that we sing is an anthem to Thee	-
Whose blessing is shed on Thy people for ever	T
Whose love is like beautiful light on the sea	-
Behold with high sense of Thy mercy unsleeping	K
We come to Thee kneel to Thee praise Thee and pray	E
O Lord in whose hand is the strength that is keeping	K
The storm from the wave and the night from the day	E
