THIS CANADA OF OURS.
We'll ne'er forget the good old blood
That courses through our veins;
Proud Scotia's fame, old Erin's name,
And haughty Albion's powers,
Reflect their matchless lustre on
   This Canada of ours.
     Fair Canada,
     Dear Canada,
   This Canada of ours!

May our Dominion flourish then,
A goodly land and free,
Where Celt and Saxon, hand in hand,
Hold sway from sea to sea;
Strong arms shall guard our cherished homes,
When darkest danger lowers,
And with our life-blood we'll defend
   This Canada of ours.
     Fair Canada,
     Dear Canada,
   This Canada of ours!
