On Canada Day, July 1, 1980, 'O Canada!' was claimed the National Anthem of Canada, 100 years after its great days and performances  in 1880 for St. Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations. Composed by Calixa Lavallée, French lyrics were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. Many English ways followed, but the current 'official' lyrics are based on a version written in 1908 by Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir.

The official English version, shown above, includes the changes recommended by a Special Joint Committee on the Senate and House of Commons in 1968.
