True Patriot Love
O Canada! Our fathers' land of old. Thy brow is crown'd with leaves of red and gold. Beneath the shade of the Holy Cross. Thy children own their birth. No stains thy glorious annals gloss. Since valour shield thy hearth. Almighty God! On Thee we call. Defend our rights, forfend this nation's thrall. Lord God of Hosts! We now implore. Bless our dear land this day and evermore. With hearts we sing, ‘God save the King.’ Guide then one Empire wide, do we implore, And prosper Canada from shore to shore. Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble prayer, Hold our dominion within Thy loving care. Help us to find, O God, in Thee, A lasting, rich reward, As waiting for the Better Day. We ever stand on guard. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Original public domain image from Flickr
