I love the tune and the words are great. I can’t think of a better one than what we already have.

I don’t think the words are all that great but the French have a good tune.

“Scotland The Brave” is also a good one tho I have read that it is only unofficial.

How about adapting New Zealand’s?

—

God of nations! at Thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet,

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our Free Land.

Guard Pacific’s triple star,

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand

—

Men of ev’ry creed and race

Gather here before Thy face,

Asking Thee to bless this place,

God defend our Free Land.

From dissension, envy, hate,

And corruption guard our State,

Make our country good and great,

God defend New Zealand.

— (snip)

May our mountains ever be

Freedom’s ramparts on the sea,

Make us faithful unto Thee,

God defend our Free Land.

Guide her in the nations’ van,

Preaching love and truth to man,

Working out Thy Glorious plan,

God defend New Zealand.
