DOMINION DAY, 1900.

Rejoice, O Canada, rejoice,

On this thy natal day;

In East and West lift up thy voice,

And to thy children say:

“Behold me now to stature sprung;

Acclaim my second birth;

A Nation now I stand among

My sisters of the earth.”

The wrath of man doth praise the Lord;

And, glorious be His name,

An Empire, fashioned by the sword

And welded in the flame,

Hath risen o'er the battle-smoke,

And near and far unfurled

Its righteous standard to evoke

Heaven's blessings on the world.
