| All hail to thee noble and generous Land | B |
| With thy prairies boundless and wide | C |
| Thy mountains that tower like sentinels grand | B |
| Thy lakes and thy rivers of pride | C |
| - | |
| Thy forests that hide in their dim haunted shades | D |
| New flowers of loveliness rare | E |
| Thy fairy like dells and thy bright golden glades | D |
| Thy warm skies as Italy s fair | E |
| - | |
| Here Plenty has lovingly smiled on the soil | F |
| And neath her sweet merciful reign | G |
| The brave and long suff ring children of toil | F |
| Need labor no longer in vain | G |
| - | |
| I ask of thee shelter from lawless harm | H |
| Food raiment and promise thee now | I |
| In return the toil of a stalwart arm | H |
| And the sweat of an honest brow | I |
| - | |
| But think not I pray that this heart is bereft | J |
| Of fond recollections of home | K |
| That I e er can forget the dear land I have left | J |
| In the new one to which I have come | L |
| - | |
| Oh no far away in my own sunny isle | M |
| Is a spot my affection worth | N |
| And though dear are the scenes that around me now smile | M |
| More dear is the place of my birth | N |
| - | |
| There hedges of hawthorn scent the sweet air | E |
| And thick as the stars of the night | O |
| The daisy and primrose with flow rets as fair | E |
| Gem that soil of soft verdurous light | O |
| - | |
| And there points the spire of my own village church | P |
| That long has braved time s iron power | Q |
| With its bright glitt ring cross and ivy wreathed porch | R |
| Sure refuge in sorrow s dark hour | Q |
| - | |
| Whilst memory lasts think not e er from this breast | S |
| Can pass the fond thoughts of my home | K |
| No I ne er can forget the land I have left | J |
| In the new one to which I have come | L |
