Australia For Ever
The Australian Natives Association.
By Henry F Rix
On high let fly the Southern flag—
Australia united;
Ring out the shout when on each crag
The Union Flag is sighted.
Join hand in hand from shore to shore,
Eternal friendship pledging;
From heart to heart for evermore,
Let one life blood be surging.
(Chorus)
Australia for ever, boys,
Her call we’ll all obey,
For her we’ll live, for her we’ll die
Australia for aye!
One people we, strong-souled and free,
To noble fame aspiring,
A brotherhood of liberty
In honour’s cause untiring.
Then man to man we’ll ever stand,
No feuds our soul shall sever;
Not might, but right shall rule the land,
Australia for ever!
(Chorus)
Australia for ever, boys,
Her call we’ll all obey,
For her we’ll live, for her we’ll die
Australia for aye!
