Lyrics
- Ever since Confederation
We have been a ready Nation
When they had a “Little Job” they wanted done
Was it Fighting, Work, or Science?
They could always place reliance
In Canada, Great Britain’s fav’rite Son
Chorus
In Canada, in Canada
There’s a bond of love in Canada
A bond of Union, that we proudly toast
In a “Diamond Jubilee” from Coast to Coast
In Unity, Community, the Nation’s great endeavor
“O Canada” The Maple Leaf forever”
And we’ll make it loud and hearty
For it is our Birthday party
The Nation’s Birthday of Confederation
- From far off Prince Edward Island
To the Rocky Mountain highland
You will find the fairest land the world can give
Makes no diff’rence what extraction
You will find no creed or faction
In Canada, the country, where we live
