OK, here are the official lyrics from the Government of Canada Canadian Heritage site (op cit – Joe Offer). This version has been in use since the late sixties so it's about time we all knew the right words; especially those of us who call ourselves singers with repertoires of scores, if not hundreds of songs. OFFICIAL LYRICS OF O CANADA! 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.
