| | | SET high the light where all may see— | |
| The flame that since two thousand years | |
| Has burned—now dim with misery. | |
| A light of mourning it appears; | |
| Stand firm! still flows the cruse divine, | 5 |
| Our star with dazzling ray shall shine. | |
| |
| Raise up the flag! Our doubting hearts | |
| Too long have kept it closely furled; | |
| Meekness and fear have played their parts, | |
| Valour alone can tame the world | 10 |
| And show, in might of unity, | |
| That like our sires we shall be free. | | | | |
