Their roc­ky pin­na­cles on high,
And rests not now by day or night.
On Af­ric shores, on In­dia’s plains;
Goes forth the voice of God:
Still, as the light of morn­ing broke
Thee o’er the is­lands steep,

con­ti­nent

From ci­ty, field, and wood,
Their de­sert gran­deur to the sky.
The dawn leads on ano­ther day,
And be the uni­verse Thine own!
Ye isles, give ear to Me,
Thy far-spread fa­mi­ly awoke,
Thee in the ci­ty’s throng,
