Text:

1.
Centralians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home lies by the sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Centralia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Centralia Fair.

2.
Beneath the radiant sun above
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make our youthful nation proud
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Centralia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Centralia Fair.

3.
With Christ our head and cornerstone,
We'll build our nation's might;
Whose way and truth and light alone,
Can guide our path aright;
Our lives a sacrifice of love,
Reflect our master's care;
With faces turned to heav'n above,
Advance Centralia Fair;
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Centralia Fair.
