O Canada (1917)

O Canada! Our Home and Native Land! True patriot-love in all thy sons command; With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North, strong and free, And stand on guard, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. O Canada, glorious and free! We stand on guard for thee!

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! O Canada, glorious and free! We stand on guard for thee!

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 Fatherland, our Motherland! Our True North, strong and free! O Canada, glorious and free! We stand on guard for thee!

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. O Canada, glorious and free! We stand on guard for thee!
