GOD SAVE THE KING

God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
I-ong to reign over us,
God save the King!"

O CANADA!

O Canada! our home, our native land,
True patriot love thou dost in us command.
We see thee rising fair, dear land,
The true north, strong and free;
And stand on guard, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
CHORUS

O Canada! O Canada!
0 Canada, we stand on guard for thee,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada! where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread, and lordly rivers flow.
Thou art the land, O Canada,
From east to western sea,
The Land of Hope for all who toil,
The Land of Liberty!
(Chorus)

O Canada! beneath thy shining skies
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise!
And so abide, O Canada,
From east to western sea,
Where'er thy pines and prairies are,
The true north, strong and free.
(Chorus)

THE MAPLE LEAF
In days of yore, from Britain's shore,
Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came,
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain,
Here may it wave, our boast, our pride,
And joined in love together,
The Thistle, Shamrock, Rose entwine,
The Maple Leaf forever!
CHORUS.

The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf forever,
God save our King, and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!
At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane,
Our brave fathers, side by side.
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear
Firmly stood and nobly died;
And those dear rights which they maintained,
We swear to yield them never;
Our watchword evermore shall be,
The Maple Leaf forever! '
Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound,
May peace forever be our lot,
And plenteous store abound;
And may those ties of love be ours,
Which discord cannot sever,
And flourish green o'er Freedom's home,
The Maple Leaf forever!
On Merry England's far-famed land
May kind Heaven sweetly smile;
God bless old Scotland evermore
And Ireland's Emerald Isle!
Then swell the song, both loud and long,
Till rocks and forests quiver,
God save our King and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!
