O Canada

In Social Studies class, we are doing an O Canada assignment.  One of the things we had to do was find the Lyrics of the Anthem. I happened to know them pretty well because I sing O Canada every school day morning. 
We also had to answer some questions about the Anthem. One of them was:
Who wrote O Canada and when?
Believe it or not, Calixa Lavallée wrote it in 1880 so that means that Canada has had a National Anthem for a LONG time.
Want to sing along with the video?  Sure you do.  Here are the words:

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 Srong 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
