O Canada

O Canada our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us 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.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada land of our ancestors
Glorious deeds circle your brow
For your arm knows how to wield the sword
Your arm knows how to carry the cross;
Your history is an epic of brilliant deeds
And your valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights,
Will protect our homes and our rights

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!

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, 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 own beloved native land Our True North, strong and free!

Under the eye of God, near the giant river the Canadian grows hoping.
He was born of a proud race blessed was his birthplace Heaven has noted his career
In this new world always guided by its light,
He will keep the honour of his flag,
He will keep the honour of his flag.

From his patron, the precursor of the true God,
He wears the halo of fire on his brow.
Enemy of tyranny but full of loyalty,
He wants to keep in harmony,
His proud freedom and by the effort of his genius,
Set on our ground the truth,
Set on our ground the truth.

Sacred love of the throne and the altar,
Fill our hearts with your immortal breath!
Among the foreign races our guide is the law:
Let us know how to be a people of brothers,
Under the yoke of faith and repeat, like our fathers,
The battle cry: "For Christ and King!"
The battle cry: "For Christ and King!"
