The Great Southland v2 with new verse

New optional 1st verse:

This is Your nation, this is Your land
A land of dreaming, a forgotten past:
A kindred people, willing to share
This sacred land, this is our home

Verse 1

This is Your nation, This is Your land,
This common future, This shared hope.
A land of reaping, A land of harvest,
This is Your land, This is our home.

Chorus:

This is the Great South-land
of the Holy Spirit.
A land of red dust plains
and summer rains,
And in this sunburnt land we have seen his love,
And to this Great South-land
His Spirit’s come.

Verse 2

This is Your nation, This is Your land,
This land of plenty This land of hope.
The richest harvest is in her peoples
From age to age His spirit’s come.

Chorus

Verse 3

This is Your nation, This is Your land,
This “lucky country” of dreams gone dry.
And to all peoples there is a harvest
And to this land His Spirit’s come.

Chorus
