“The growing nation,
may it prove Dominion of the Good!
And ever stand, in coming
years, where Britain always stood,—
The foremost in the cause
of right! upholder of the truth!
The nation which in growth
of years grows in the strength of youth!
Then we may cry, with hopeful
voice, unto the heavenly powers,
For blessings on our native
land—’This Canada of ours.’”
