ORIGINAL VERSE.
.». —.. ■• FIGHT,,.FOR THE DAY IS COMING!" Onward, Imperial Britannia I Empire of Law and Right. Thy million sons are fighting To crush all Evil's might. With trumpets and with banner* ; The Empire is marching on; The air rings with "Hosannas!" Soon the field will be fought and won. Forward! the world before us Listens to, hear our tread, And the calm heavens o'er us Smiles blessings on our head. Hope, like an eagle, hovers Above the way we go; The shield of Britannia covers I Our heart from every foe. ' Forward! as near and nearer Draw wo to Peace and Rest, Joyous the light shines clearer In every faithful breast. The Him has failed to hind us, His Power it fades away; The deepest gloom behind us Meets in "Triumphant Day." " ANTIAN."
