Wave on, Oh flag of Empire vast!
O'er mountain, rock and stream; Where wholesome fealty rests secure,
Beneath thy fervent gleam. For, should the tramp of hostile feet
Arouse our peaceful shore, Britannia's conquering sword would flash
Through Canada once more.
Then rally round the olden flag! The loved red, white and blue; Let traitors scheme, or boasters brag, To Canada prove true.
