We have a note of a Pitcairn anthem at http://www.nationalanthems.us/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=lyrics_state;action=di... (also at my site as well), yet recently I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Anthem , purported to be the anthem of both the Pitcairn and Norfolk Islands (understandable, considering Pitcairners were once evacuated to Norfolk and seem to have good ties with that island.)

I am wondering if it is actually considered as a local anthem in either territory?  It looks more like it oculd be a popular hymn (although, as we all know, that sometimes leads to an anthem!).  If it is, it would be quite amazing that a territory as small as Pitcairn (area and population wise) would have had two anthems in its history (not to mention God Save the Queen)
