Dear Canada our native land	A
Our love for thee grows day by day	B
Our fathers left the olden strand	A
O'er sea and rapids made their way	B
And by their energy and skill	C
They laid thy firm foundation deep	D
And sowed the seed o'er vale and hill	C
Which we their sons are called to reap	D
	-
The wilderness blooms as the rose	E
The old time hardships are unknown	F
And wealth in streams of commerce flows	E
From sea to sea a nation grown	F
Still youthful but with thews of steel	G
To throttle foes that may arise	H
Yet loving touch sore hearts to heal	G
And lift us nearer to the skies	H
	-
We cannot boast as blue a sky	I
As smiles o'er many an Alpine plain	J
Nor are our mountain peaks as high	I
As theirs yet we have other gain	J
Our hills are rich in yellow gold	K
Our plains are broad and fertile too	L
Our lakes and streams hold wealth untold	K
And grander forests never grew	L
	-
Our sky is bright to healthy eyes	H
Pure ozone lades the air we breathe	M
Our climate we have learned to prize	H
Nor do we o'er our winters grieve	N
For nature throws her ermine robe	O
O'er purple hills and vales as well	P
No portion of this earthly globe	O
As gay as this with sleigh and bell	P
	-
But soon the winter wears away	B
And plants long sheltered now are seen	Q
And April showers and smiling May	B
Soon clothe the earth in living green	Q
Monotony is thus unknown	F
Each season is a glad surprise	H
In which God's truth and love are shown	F
And hope within us never dies	H
	-
Our sons inured to noble toil	R
Grow strong in arm and broad in mind	S
Some stay at home to till the soil	R
Others in various callings find	S
Their missions but where'er their place	T
In the great drama of our day	B
They as a class win in the race	T
And the behests of Heaven obey	B
	-
The gold of monarchy have we	U
Without the useless silt and dross	V
And like our cousins all are free	U
Yet we have no election boss	W
No union here of Church and State	X
Yet Church and State full well agree	U
That nations never can be great	X
If they refuse to bow the knee	U
	-
We make the nation's weal or woe	Y
As one may shape his future life	Z
God's mill 'tis said grinds fine tho' slow	Y
A fact lost sight of in the strife	Z
For place and power in Church and State	X
And think God cares not what we do	L
But to our doubt he whispers wait	X
And time proves Him both just and true	L
	-
From England and from sunny France	A2
Our fathers came long years ago	Y
On Abraham's plain with sword and lance	A2
They fought as foes gave blow for blow	Y
The victors and the conquered now	B2
Recall that day with mutual pride	C2
To their grand destiny all bow	B2
And as true peers stand side by side	C2
	-
So give me Canada before	D2
The fairest land beneath the sky	I
We stretch our arms from shore to shore	D2
And all are free both low and high	I
An infant nation yet 'tis true	L
But strong in muscle and in nerve	E2
We hold our own give all their due	L
And God's great purpose humbly serve	E2
