<poem>
We thank thee 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 grow on the whole nation, our home!
After the flow of sweat, bring forth sweet rain,
bless this urgent work, and grant harvest plenty!
