O Canada lyrics in French

My kids are Canadian (as my husband is Canadian). They know O Canada in English, but we never thought to teach them the song in French. I found the lyrics on line and hopefully they'll learn it soon. Even if you aren't Canadian, it's still a great opportunity to teach your children some French Canadian culture.

Ô Canada

Ô Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.

Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix.

Ton histoire est une épopée,
Des plus brillants exploits.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Here's a instumental YouTube video with the lyrics in English and French.
