Lo ! above the eastern seaClearly dawns the sky;Glorious and bright the sunRideth up on high.Spirit pure of heaven and earthFills the hearts of all,Hope abounding springs--O sweetIsles Imperial.Yonder where the clouds of mornShed a radiant glow,Fuji Mountain, Nippon's pride,Rears its crown of snow.Fair of form without a blotNobly doth it stand,And unshakable--a tureSymbol of our land.
