O Canada!

Where it all started: Bapa & Nana Ironside's
little house on the prairie

O Canada!
Our home and native land!

The road back ...

True patriot love in all thy sons 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.

on guard for thee.

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.

Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.

How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea.

O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies

May stalwart sons, 
and gentle maidens, rise



To keep thee steadfast through the years
From East to Western sea.

Our own beloved native land!
Our True North, strong and free!

Twelve hours old ...

Ruler supreme, who hearest
humble prayer,
Hold our Dominion in
thy loving care;




Help us to find, O God, in Thee a lasting, rich reward,

Helping the helpers ...

All will be well ...
