 This was the only one that the composer wrote as a part-song, though two others ""Sailing Westward"" and ""The Immortal Legions"" were later arranged as part-songs.The song is in the form of a confident march, beginning with the symbolic ""stars that wheel around the Sun"" and finally celebrating the union of the realms of Empire with ""Love binds all our hearts in one"".Although some of the songs in ""Pageant of Empire"" were associated with particular countries, this song celebrates the union of the whole Empire, and has no particular reference to what was at that time the Union of South Africa.
