Dominion Day, 1900.

Topics: classic

Rejoice, O Canada, rejoice,             On this thy natal day;         In East and West lift up thy voice,             And to thy children say:         "Behold me now to stature sprung;             Acclaim my second birth;         A Nation now I stand among             My sisters of the earth."         The wrath of man doth praise the Lord;             And, glorious be His name,         An Empire, fashioned by the sword             And welded in the flame,         Hath risen o'er the battle-smoke,             And near and far unfurled         Its righteous standard to evoke             Heaven's blessings on the world.
