Canadian Singers and Their Songs
(1919)
“ They guard a nation's honour,—an Empire's future hold, Millions of hearts are praying for their prowess and their power, With human hopes full-freighted for ages yet untold, Of Peace and Freedom wrested from Eagle's fateful hour —They speed on-stern and bold! "Lord of Nations! Who dids't shatter a proud Armada`s might, Be their shield and unseen Vanguard"—with one voice a nation cries, "God and the Right" —their war-cry-to nerve them for the fight, To win-for Man and Freedom, where'er their standard flies, The triumph of the Right! ”
