The National Anthem of 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. "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. "--"O Canada" was proclaimed Canada's national anthem on July 1, 1980, one hundred years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880. The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée, a well-known composer; French lyrics to accompany the music were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song gained steadily in popularity. Many English versions have appeared over the years. The version on which the official English lyrics are based was written in 1908 by Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir. The official English version includes changes recommended in 1968 by a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Commons. The French lyrics remained unaltered. 2, record 1, English, - O%20Canada

Le Bureau de la traduction du gouvernement du Canada recommande d'employer le «O» avec l'accent circonflexe. En français, l'interjection «ô» sert à introduire des invocations, à interpeller ou à exprimer poétiquement un sentiment intense. Elle s'écrit avec l'accent circonflexe, que le «o» soit majuscule ou minuscule. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%94%20Canada

L'Hymne national du Canada. -- «Ô Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux! Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, Il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire est une épopée Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée, Protégera nos foyers et nos droits, Protégera nos foyers et nos droits». -- «Ô Canada» a été proclamé hymne national le 1er juillet 1980, un siècle après avoir été chanté pour la première fois, le 24 juin 1880. La musique est l'œuvre de Calixa Lavallée, célèbre compositeur, et les paroles françaises sont de sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. Le chant est devenu de plus en plus populaire et, au cours des années, il en est apparu de nombreuses versions anglaises. La version anglaise officielle est basée sur celle composée en 1908 par le juge Robert Stanley Weir. Elle incorpore les changements apportés en 1968 par un comité mixte du Sénat et de la Chambre des communes. La version française n'a pas été modifiée. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%94%20Canada
