[Verse 1]
Australian sons, let us rejoice. For we are young and free. We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea. Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare; In hist'ry's page, let evry stage Advance Australia Fair
[Verse 2]
When gallant Cook from Albion sailed. To trace wide oceans o'er. True British courage bore him on. Til he landed on our shore Then here he raised Old England's flag. The standard of the brave. "With all her faults we love her still." "Britannia rules the wave."
[Verse 3]
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross. We'll toil with hearts and hands, To make our youthful Commonwealth Renowned of all the lands; For loyal sons beyond the seas We've boundless plains to share, With courage let us all combine
[Verse 4]
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast. Or dare a foot to land, We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore To guard our native strand; Britannia then shall surely know, Beyond wide oceans roll Her sons in fair Australia's land Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia Fair.
