Oh Canada

This week I feel that I should share the Canadian national anthem with you. It was originally composed in French in 1880 and was not translated into English until 1906. The English lyrics have had a few revisions but have been the same since 1980 when it became the official national anthem of Canada.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
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.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
