  Canada! Maple land! Land of great mountains! Lake-land and River-land! Land ’twixt the seas! Grant us, God, hearts that are large as our heritage, Spirits as free as the breeze! Grant us Thy fear that we walk in humility— Fear that is reverent—not fear that is base; Grant to us righteousness, wisdom, prosperity, Peace—if unstained by disgrace. Grant us Thy love and the love of our country; Grant us Thy strength, for our strength’s in Thy name; Shield us from danger, from every adversity, Shield us, O Father, from shame! Last born of Nations! the offspring of freedom! Heir to wide prairies, thick forests, red gold! God grant us wisdom to value our birthright, Courage to guard what we hold! |
