Lyrics: Christina Rossetti
Music: Reginal Wright
While we slumber and sleep,
The sun leaps up from the deep,
from the deep,
rapid, dominant free,
athirst to bathe, athirst to bathe
in the uttermost sea.
While we linger at play,
winds are up and away,
winds are up and away,
over land, over sea,
wherever their goal may be,
wherever their goal may be.
It is time to arise,
to race for the promised prize,
the promised prize,
we are strong, we are free,
and home lies beyond: the stars and sea,
beyond the sea.
