From the Chinese |
(1912) |
| | | FREEDOM, one of the greatest blessings of Heaven, | |
| United to Peace, thou wilt work on this earth ten thousand wonderful new things. | |
| |
| Grave as a spirit, great as a giant rising to the very skies, | |
| With the clouds for a chariot and the wind for a steed, | |
| Come, come to reign over the earth! | 5 |
| |
| For the sake of the black hell of our slavery, | |
| Come, enlighten us with a ray of thy sun!… | |
| |
| In this century we are working to open a new age. | |
| In this century, with one voice, all virile men | |
| Are calling for a new making of heaven and earth. | 10 |
| |
| Hin-Yun, our ancestor, guide us! | |
| Spirit of Freedom, come and protect us! | | | | |
