Because I am asked on a regular basis, and even more often during the Olympics, I bring to you the official lyrics of Canada's national anthem.
If you'd like to hear the song in English or French you can do so here.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
I had no idea that "O Canada" was proclaimed Canada's national anthem on July 1, 1980, 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880.

I had no idea about the date of our song becoming "official"! That's strange to think it was in my LIFETIME.
