Astralia National Anthem "Lyric"

Australians all 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 history's page, let every stage

Advance Australia Fair


In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
