Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
With 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
New Zealand National Anthem
God of Nations at thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our Freeland.
Guard pacific’s triple star
From the shafts of strife and war.
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
