Maker of earth and sea, <br />What shall we render Thee? <br />All things are Thine! <br />Ours but from day to day <br />Still with one heart to pray, <br />“God bless our land alway,” <br />This land of Thine. <br /> <br />Mighty in brotherhood, <br />Mighty for God and good, <br />Let us be Thine. <br />Here let the nations see <br />Toil from the curse set free, <br />Labour and Liberty <br />One cause—and Thine. <br /> <br />Here let glad Plenty reign; <br />Here let none seek in vain <br />Our help and Thine— <br />No heart for want of friend <br />Fail ere the timely end, <br />But love for ever blend <br />Man's cause and Thine <br /> <br />Here let Thy peace abide; <br />Never may strife divide <br />This land of Thine. <br />Let us united stand, <br />One great Australian band, <br />Heart to heart, hand in hand, <br />Heart and hand Thine <br /> <br />Strong to defend our right, <br />Proud in all nations' sight, <br />Lowly in Thine— <br />One in all noble fame, <br />Still be our path the same, <br />Onward in Freedom's name, <br />Upward in Thine<br /><br />James Brunton Stephens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/australian-anthem/
