A NATION'S DESIRE.


God hear our fervent prayer,
God bless the royal pair,
God save the Queen!
Guide them in all their ways,
And may their wedded days
Be ordered to thy praise;
God save the Queen!

The waves will soon divide
Thee and thy home, young bride;
God save the Queen!
But over land and sea
Warm hearts will follow thee,
First rose of England's tree;
God save the Queen.




CANADA'S WELCOME.


A nation's hearty welcome take,
Heir to a mighty throne;
Thrice welcome! for old England's sake,
Thy mother's, and thine own.
