となし in 「往{ゆ}け八紘を宇{いえ}となし」


I'm currently listening to 「愛国行進曲」, which is apparently a Shōwa-era patriotic
song. It is written in a rather confusing mix of modern and Classical
Japanese, but I think I can understand most of it except for
「往{ゆ}け八紘を宇{いえ}となし」. What is となし? Is it と無し? That doesn't seem to make any
sense...




I think it might be the 連用形 of 為す, so that the meaning is roughly

> 八紘を宇となし  
>  make the whole world our home

Also, ん is most likely む, which carries the meaning of ～う・～よう, giving

> 正しき平和打ちたてん  
>  let us establish true peace
