O God of All the Many Lands

Author: Mary S. Edgar, 1889-1973 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of all the many lands, We praise you joyfully For this fair land, our Canada, A country wide and free: For mountain heights and northern lights, For prairie, lake and sea, In gratitude for all these gifts In their great majesty. 2 We thank you that from many lands With varied gifts we came, To pledge our love and loyalty Where scarlet maples flame. May justice here belong to all, And may our nation play Its rightful role in fost'ring peace, The peace for which we pray. 3 May we be worthy of our land And seek the common good, Which shapes a future destiny In world and neighborhood. May this fair land, our Canada, Your own dominion be. Your people bless abundantly With faith from sea to sea.
