Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDD EFFEFFGG| 'Twas then this land of ours we drew | A |
| From centuries of ice and sorrow | B |
| And let it of the sun's warmth borrow | B |
| And law and plow brought order new | A |
| We dug the wealth in mountain treasured | C |
| Our stately ships the oceans measured | C |
| And springtime thoughts were free to run | D |
| As round the Pole the midnight sun | D |
| - | |
| And still with God we'll conquer hold | E |
| Each plot reclaimed for harvest reaping | F |
| Each ship our sea takes to its keeping | F |
| Each child soul we to manhood mold | E |
| Each spark of thought our life illuming | F |
| Each deed to fruit of increase blooming | F |
| A province adds unto our land | G |
| And o'er our freedom guard shall stand | G |
