O, Canada, our lives we pledge to thee,
Our hearts and hands, to set thy people free;
A land of calm and sweet content shall stretch from sea to sea,
Where all must work and all may share in wealth and liberty.
O, Canada, fair Canada,
We pledge our lives to set thy people free,
We pledge our lives to set thy people free.
O, Canada, our battle we engage
To make thy wealth thy people’s heritage.
No more shall greed and power unite to hold in servile chains
The toilers of thy woods and marts and ever-smiling plains.
O, Canada, dear Canada,
We hail the dawn that lights thy liberty,
We hail the dawn that lights thy liberty.
(Burnett A. Ward)
