The Celebration Hymnal

O Canada!

1 O Canada! Our home and native land!  
True patriot love in all thy sons command.  
With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the true north, strong and free.  
From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.  
God keep our land glorious and free!  
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.  
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.  

2 Almighty Love, by Thy mysterious pow'r,  
In wisdom guide, with faith and freedom dow'r;  
Be ours a nation evermore that no oppression blights,  
Where justice rules from shore to shore, from lakes to northern lights.  
May love alone for wrong atone;  
Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine own!  
Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine own!
