NATIONAL ANTHEMS

Canada.

“O Canada, our home and native land. True patriot love in all of us 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.”

United States of America. “Oh! say can you see, By the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail At the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars,Through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched,Were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets’ red glare,The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Oh! say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave.”
