SPOKEN:
Then shall the King
Say unto them
On his right hand:

VERSE:
Come ye blessed of my Father
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you
From the foundation of the world
I was hunger’d and ye gave me meat,
I was thirsty and ye gave me drink
I was a stranger and ye took me in,
Naked and ye clothed me,
I was sick and ye visited me,
I was in prison and ye came unto me
In as much ye have done it unto one of the least of
These my brethren
Ye have done it unto me,
Ye have done it unto me.

Norfolk Island
"Come Ye Blessed"

Words by:Jesus of Nazareth
Music by:John Prindle Scott
Adopted:unknown

Norfolk Island, while under the administration of Australia, also has a local
anthem, a hymn whose lyrics are directly quoted from the New Testament of the
Bible (Matthew 25:34-36, 40).

The hymn is also known in Norfolk Island as the "Pitcairn Anthem" suggesting it
was probably brought to the island with the settlers from Pitcairn_Island in
1856, who may have used it as a local anthem there at the time.
