Lyrics
- Dear land o’ mine whose storied past
On Hist’ry’s page shall ever last
For on a base so strong and sure
Is wrought a nation to endure
Chorus
Dear Canada! Dear land o’ mine
May countless blessings e’er be thine
And all thy race in varied ways
Be mindful of thy yesterdays
Dear Canada! Dear land o’ mine
- Dear land, whose day is at the morn
On nobly has her burdens borne
And future days whate’er they hold
Shall wrought a nation to endure - So let us all in thee rejoice
Thy praises sing with heart and voice
For such a land so richly blest
We’ll gladly yield to thee our best
