548.0. "Canada's National Anthem" by CARMEL::LAMBERT () Thu Feb 27 1992 22:09

       Could  someone post or send me the lyrics to the Canadian
    national anthem.  I tried looking in our local library, but I couldn't
    find it. 
 
       Je la pr�f�re en fran�ais si possible.

     Thanks,
     Kevin

O Canada
Terre de nos a�eux
Ton front est ceint
De fleurons glorieux
Car ton bras sait porter l'�p�e
Il sait porter la croix
Ton histoire est une �pop�e
Des plus brillants exploits
Et ta valeur
De foi tremp�e
Prot�gera nos foyers at nos droits
Prot�gera nos foyers at nos droits

    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
    
    I think that's the current version ... I get confused with the
    old English version.

548.4But can ya rap to it?KAOFS::J_WEIRFri May 22 1992 12:1012
    I don't belive that is the current version, the latest version which
    was changed by the boy's on the hill (around 1982). Makes no 
    indication of gender. It now states something to the effect of....
    
    >> "In all thy sons command"
    
    "In all thy persons of a multi cultural pro/anti choice suggestion."
    
        or something like that
