O CANADA
1.
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thou dost command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
Refrain
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
2.
O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western Sea,
Thou land of hope for all who toil,
Thou True North, strong and free!
Refrain
3.
O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies!
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise.
To keep thee steadfast through the years;
From East to Western Sea.
Our own belovèd native land,
Our True North, strong and free!
Refrain
4.
Ruler Supreme! Who hearest humble prayer.
Hold our dominion in Thy loving care;
Help us to find, O God, in Thee,
A lasting, rich reward.
As, waiting for the better day,
We ever stand on guard.
Refrain
