| Where'er in this wide world he roam | B |
| Not known to thee by kith or clan | A |
| Nor height nor breadth of mental dome | B |

| - | |
| The pushing Anglo Saxon race | D |
| The Celts with wealth of heart and mind | E |
| The Esquimaux of leaden face | D |
| The Arabs whom no chain can bind | E |
| With hardy Boers and all the rest | F |
| Are with one common Father blest | F |
| - | |
| And all are brothers though at times | G |
| Our flashing swords obscure the sun | H |
| We ring aloud our Christmas chimes | G |
| But louder sounds the booming gun | H |
| And brother is by brother slain | I |
| And kindred ties are rent in twain | I |

| Yet Thou art true whate'er betide | J |
| Thy heart o'er human woe doth melt | K |

| Which shall re stock this world again | O |
| With fruitful plants of righteousness | P |
| If Thou O God but deign to bless | Q |
| - | |
| Help us that we may not deny | R |

| May right prevail in this dread war | V |
| Though we be humbled in the dust | W |
| To fail our end is better far | X |
| Then gain it if it be unjust | W |
| But if our aims with Thine agree | Y |
| We trust and leave results with Thee | Y |
| - | |
| The world moves on let none essay | Z |
| To block it in its onward course | A2 |
| Lest they like chaff be swept away | Z |

| For laggards progress does not wait | B2 |
| Keep pace with time or bide your fate | B2 |

| May our brave foes rise in defeat | C2 |
| To higher form of liberty | Y |
| And Freedom's flag as seemeth meet | C2 |
| Wave over all from sea to sea | Y |
| Pushed on as by the hand of fate | B2 |
| To nationhood both firm and great | B2 |
