MARCHING SONG
ONWARD MARCH, NEW ZEALAND! (WORDS BY T.H.G.) Onward march, New Zealand! May Wisdom light our way; Then unity and goodwill—■ Shall glorify our day. Faithful to our country, the sunny isles renowned; Where lofty peaks of grandeur and shelly strands abound. We dream of a future, prosperous and bright, A culture and a haven, wherein all may delight. Onward march, New Zealand! Let noble things appeal; And move as one inspired— Toward our grand ideal. Faithful to our country, a land of jo} and song; When duty calls we answer, oui folk are brave and strong. The Empires united, peace our nation s seal, Beneath our Flag of Freedom, pledge courage, youth and zeal. Onward march, New Zealand! Turn nor aside nor wait; Remember truth and honour— These make a nation great. Faithful to our country, of verdant hills and vales; A garden of abundance, great forests and their trails. Be steadfast in line things, heed our dream divine. It bids us build a nation, the task is yours and mine.
