Fear ye not the stormy future, for the Battle Hymn is strong
And the armies of Australia shall not march without a song
The glorious words and music of Australia's song shall come
When her true hearts rush together at the beating of a drum
We may not be there to hear it – 'twill be written in the night
And Australia's foes shall fear it in the hour before the fight
The glorious words and music from a lonely heart shall come
When our sons shall rush to danger at the beating of the drum
He shall be unknown who writes it; he shall soon forgotten be
But the song shall ring through ages as a song of liberty
And I say the words and music of our battle hymn shall come
When Australia wakes in anger at the beating of a drum
