<poem> | |||
We give thee thanks for giving us the land on which we dwell. | |||
Through thought, deed and toil we come and offer ourselves to thee. | |||
Prithee accept and be pleased, we pray, with this mediocre work of our hands, | |||
and let wealth increase throughout the nation, our home! | |||
After the flow of sweat, call forth sweet rain; | |||
bless this urgent work, and grant harvest plenty! | |||
