O Canada, our heritage, our love,
Thy worth we praise, all other lands above;
From sea to sea, throughout thy length,
From pole to borderland,
At Britain’s side, whate’er betide,
Unflinchingly we’ll stand.
With heart we sing, God Save the King!
Guard Thou our Empire wide, do we implore,
And prosper Canada from shore to shore.
