The prairies to the mountains call,
The mountains to the sea;
From shore to shore nation keeps
Her martyrs memory
Though lowly born, the seal of God
Was in that rugged face;
Still from the humble Nazareths come
The saviors of the race
With patient heart and vision clear
He wrought through trying days.
s'Malice toward none, with love for all, .
Unswerved by blame praise.
And when the morn of Peace broke through
The battles cloud and din
He hailed with joy the promised land
He might not enter in.
He seemed as set by God apart,
The winepress trod alone;
Now stands he forth uncrowned king,
peoples heart his throne
Land of our loyal love and hope,
O Land he died to save,
Bow down, renew today thy vows
Beside his martyr grave!
