"That True North." -- Tennyson
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 skiesMay 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!
