"Gone Forth Beyond the Sea" was the anthem of the Kingdom of Sarawak.

It was composed in 1872 by Margaret of Sarawak, in honour of Charles of Sarawak, and was in use until the Kingdom was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1946.

The tune is identical to that of the post-1946 anthem, "Fair Land Sarawak".

Lyrics

Gone forth beyond the sea

To clime... as yet unknown,

Where calls are made for thee,

To bear the sword and crown.

Advance, God speed, to save,

Creatures in jungles deep,

God's hand shall help the brave,

Tho'man's may rest in sleep,

Let Justice signalise,

And ev'..ry voice resound,

Who by the Eastern crown'd.

Tho'past and gone in light,

Thy name is still renownd,

And as a chief in might,

Thy deeds are ever crown'd,

Let echoing vales redound,

By mountain, crag and nook,

Sing loud with joyous sound,

God Bless the Rajah Brooke.
