The Sydney 2000 Olympic Opening Ceremony highlighted the fact that most of the large audience was unfamiliar with the second verse of the anthem, sung by Julie Anthony (the first verse was sung by Human Nature).

Gird up the loins of thine endeavour, that perchance thou mayest release the captive from his chains, and enable him to attain unto true liberty.
Gird yourselves against his wicked devices, and, led by the light of the name of the All-Seeing God, make your escape from the darkness that surroundeth you.
