The Making of a Nation.
159
Honesty in hall and household,
Honour in the public mart,
Individual worth of purpose,
Purity of lip and heart.

These our flags for her adorning,
These her wreaths of deathless bloom,
These the jewelled lamps to guide her
And her upward path illume.

We who love her! God hath lavished
At her feet all earthly good,
Ours it is to make and keep her
Worth v of her Nationhood.
