806. 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!
