O Canada

Greetings...
Freedom, rights, and responsibilities go hand in hand. There is a heightened collective consciousness at this time in Canada, that we should never take these for granted. With this in mind, I share the following composition.


CANADA, BLESSED COUNTRY 
 
Our country vast and free / Vistas of majesty / As fate designed 
Settlers from distant lands / Join with First Nations bands / Toiling as life demands / Progress to find 
 
Canada e'er shall see / Deep civic loyalty / In hearts aglow 
We stand on guard for thee / And thy blest sov’reignty / From sea to shining sea / Goodwill to show 
 
Cultural legacy / Marked by diversity / One of a kind
Calm, trust, and confidence / Fairness and common sense / Will make us greater, hence / None left behind
 
Honouring dignity / We’re righting history / Wellness our goal
We move from ignorance / To thoughtful vigilance / Wisdom and forbearance / So all is whole
 
Turning to right from wrong  / In unity made strong / Truth is our guide 
With hope we ever strive / To keep our dreams alive / In victory we’ll thrive / Purpose applied 
 
Our country shall not cease / To work for lasting peace / With souls set free 
Breaking the curse worldwide / Of hatred multiplied / Justice no more denied / Love is the key 
 
Shared stewardship we ply / Over land, sea, and sky / Threats won’t alarm
Protecting our frontier / No foe we’ll ever fear / God as our helper near / Shields us from harm
 
O God, please keep our land / Firm in Thy mighty hand / From shore to shore
We’ll shout triumphantly / As life and liberty / Peace and prosperity / Reign ever more
