LET US BE PROUD OF CANADA

[Welland Tribune October 19, 1943]

Let us be proud of Canada
And all her glories share;
For a truly loyal soul
None can with her compare.
This vast dominion we possess
Is held in trust, we know,
As an example to the world-
And feared by every foe.

Let us be proud of Canada
And all her fighters bold;
For they beneath her banner now
Have epic stories told.
From city, prairie, village, town,
Their courage ranks the same;
And in this world-wide battlefield
None fail to “play the game.”

Let us be proud of Canada.
A nation young in years;
Developing her mighty strength
“Mid “Blood and sweat and tears”
From shore to shore her people thrive
Unfettered, bold and free;
Where all can share as partners, in
A true democracy.

Let us be proud of Canada
And buy bonds all we can;
For thereby is her strength conserved
In each financial plan.
No other land has her appeal
No matter where we roam;
So let’s be proud of Canada
For Canada’s our home.

William McClure
