Mercy E. Powell McCulloch
From Freepedia
In 1908, Collier's Weekly magazine held a competition to write English lyrics for "O Canada" and all kinds of versions were submitted. The competition was won by Mercy E. Powell McCulloch, but her version did not take.
Her lyrics were:
- O Canada! in praise of thee we sing;
- From echoing hills our anthems proudly ring.
- With fertile plains and mountains grand
- With lakes and rivers clear,
- Eternal beauty, thos dost stand
- Throughout the changing year.
- Lord God of Hosts! We now implore
- Bless our dear land this day and evermore,
- Bless our dear land this day and evermore.
