O Canada!
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
True patriot love in all of us command.<ref>The original verse was "True patriot love in all thy sons command", but was changed in 2018 for gender-neutral language.</ref>
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
In the major sports leagues featuring both American and Canadian teams, both O Canada and The Star Spangled Banner are played before the game, with the visiting team's anthem played first and the home team's anthem played afterwards. (The [[Buffalo Sabres]], due to their large Canadian fan base, play both anthems regardless of opponent.) It is common for the anthem to be sung in a mix of English and French due to Canada's official linguistic duality.
