The granite mother that has bredF
A breed of granite menE

For every grief you ever knewJ
May joy come fifty foldK

Thy blessing Lord on CanadaP

O'er all Thy fruitful EarthX

May we maintain the storyM
Of honest fearless rightU
Not ours not ours the GloryM

Thy servants and no otherO
Thy servants may we beM
To help our weaker brotherO
As we crave for help from TheeM
