Lord of the lands, beneath thy bending
Lord of the lands, beneath thy bending skies,
on field and flood, where'er our banner flies,
thy people lift their hearts to thee,
their grateful voices raise:
may our Dominion ever be
a temple to thy praise
thy will alone let all enthrone;
Lord of the lands, make Canada thine own!
Almighty Love, by thy mysterious power,
in wisdom guide, with faith and freedom dower;
be ours a nation evermore
that no oppression blights,
where justice rules from shore to shore,
from lakes to northern lights.
May love alone for wrong atone;
Lord of the lands, make Canada thine own!
Lord of the worlds, with strong eternal hand,
hold us in honor, truth and self-command;
the loyal heart, the constant mind,
the courage to be true,
our wide-extending Empire bind,
and all the earth renw.
Thy Name be known through every zone;
Lord of the worlds, make all the lands thine own.
