Two stanzas, different syllable count.

I am a clarinetist.  I have just been taken out of the choir here and made
full time instrumental.  This has meant writing a lot of tunes in a hurry.

Our National Anthem "Advance Australia Fair" has two verses with an extra
syllable included in the second.

St 1:  ... let every stage Advance Australia Fair.
St. 2:  ... let us all combine To Advance...

When adding lyrics, I "chickened out " and wrote "t'Advance" to keep the count
the same.  What is the correct solution?

Doug.
