O CANADAO Canada ! Terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est cient de fleurons glorieux!Car ton bras sait porter L’épée.

Il sait porter la croix !Ton historie est une épopéeDes plus brillant exploits.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love, in all of us 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.

Act Of Remembrance John Newell Proclamation Du Souvenir Georges Couillard

Laying of the Wreaths Déposition des Couronnes

Ils ne vielliront pas comme nous qui leur avons survécu.Ils ne connaîtront jamais l ’outrage, ni le poids des ans.

Quand viendra l’heure du crépuscule, et celle de l’aurore,Nous nous souviendrons d’eux. Nous nous souviendrons d’eux.

They shall grow not old as we, who are left, grow old.Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun, and in the morning.

We will remember them.We will remember them.

Poem Daniel Clapin Poeme

In Flanders Fields

Hymn The Ottawa Masonic Choir Chant and the Perley Rideau Choir

O God of Love, O King of Peace

O God of love, O King of peace, Make wars throughout the world to cease;

The wrath of sinful man restrain: Give peace, O God, give peace again!Where saints and angels dwell above,

All hearts are knit in holy love. O bind us in that heavenly chain!

Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Punch, Dec 8, 1915 John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row and row

That mark our places; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the dead, short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Prayer Fr. Paul Tennyson Prière Scripture Reading William Halcro Lecture Biblique Philippe Lepage

Reflection Jessie Stephenson Reflexion

Isaiah 2 :2-4And it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many peoples shall go and say: 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.' For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Isaïe 2:2-4Il arrivera, à la fin des temps, que la montagne de la maison du Seigneur sera affermie sur la cime des montagnes et se dressera au-dessus des collines, et toutes les nations y afflueront. Et nombre de peuples iront en disant: “Or çà, gravissons la montagne de l’Eternel pour gagner la maison du Dieu de Jacob, afin qu’il nous enseigne ses voies et que nous puissions suivre ses sentiers, car c’est de Sion que sort la doctrine et de Jérusalem la parole du Seigneur.” Il sera un arbitre entre les nations et le précepteur de peuples nombreux; ceux-ci alors de leurs glaives forgeront des socs de charrue et de leurs lances des serpettes; un peuple ne tirera plus l’épée contre un autre peuple, et on n’apprendra plus l’art des combats.

The Lord’s Prayer In the language of your choice Le Notre Père Dans la langue de votre choix

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux, Que Ton nom soit sanctifié,

Que ton règne vienne, que ta volonté soit faiteSur la terre comme au ciel.

Donne-nous aujourd’hui notre pain de ce jour.Pardonne-nous nos offenses,

comme nous pardonnons aussiA ceux qui nous ont offensés.

Et ne nous soumets pas a la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.

Car c’est a toi qu’appartiennent le règne,La puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name ;

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us ;And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power

and the Glory, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Hymn The Ottawa Masonic Choir Chant and the Perley Rideau Choir

Abide With Me by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847)

Benediction Fr. Paul Tennyson Bénédiction Jessie Stephenson Royal Anthem Hymne Royal

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me.Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee:

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen:

God save the Queen. Send her victorious, Happy and glorious

Long to reign over us: God Save the Queen.

Never having been outside Ottawa and never seeing a statue larger than Queen Victoria’s on Parliament Hill, 14 year-old John Newell travelled across the Atlantic with his Mother, Father and Sister, Jocelyn, aboard the RMS Ascania to participate in the unveiling of the Vimy Ridge Memorial in 1936. After returning to Vimy Ridge eighty-on years later, John reflects on that first trip.

“All the things I saw and did have never left me. When I returned and walked the Ridge, I swear I was not alone; Mom, Dad and Jocelyn were walking beside me. I am positive they were there. I also remember being there (at 14) and knowing that Vimy was the start of Canada.”
