About this book
O Canada, Dominion of the North
Author: Lavalle, Calixa, 1842-1891
Year: 1809
[Verse 1] O Canada! / Dominion of the North, / How vast the path where on they sun rides forth! / His sweep from stern Atlantic flood / To far Pacific main, / Proclaims the bounteous hand of God / Upon thy grand domain. / O Daughter blest! / peace, peace be thine, / May Wisdom wreathe tiny brow with light divine, / And in thy law and council ever shine. [Verse 2] Free men, rejoice! / rejoice that ye are free! / No despot rules, be hold from sea to sea, / A nation youthful call’d of God / To rule in equality, / A people bound in brotherhood, / A loyal unity. / Land of the free! / for ever wave / Thy flag of freedom which our fathers gave, / Banner of honor, emblem of the brave. [Verse 3] Northmen, be strong! / abhor the trait or stain, / Fear ye no foe, the craven cry disdain, / And if the bold aggressor come / To war on sea or land, / Be true to your beloved home, / And by the empire stand: / O Canada! From shore to shore / Gird on thy strength, and Heaven’s arm implore / God is thy shield and shall be evermore.
