           OPENING ODE

Sing ye his praises loud and long,
And let the unenlightened know,
In ev'ry echo of your song,                 
The great deeds done, tho' long ago,        
By Columbus of the valiant soul,            
Who first old Neptune has controlled,       
Despite of envy, intrigue, gold,            
In the dim past of long ago.               
With vessels three o'er stormy sea,
He thrilled the world of long ago,         
While wisdom linked with destiny,          
In justice scales its weight did throw.
We are his heirs; we wear his name;         
We boast his deeds; we spread his fame;     
Our Order is the shining flame,            
That lights the gloom of long ago.
         CLOSING ODE

Now our evening's work is done,
Then let us ev'ry one,
Join in a song.
Long may our Order stand
Foremost in this free land,
Ready with heart and hand
To right each wrong.


We have a mission great,
True to our Church and State,
Onward we move.
We dry the mourner's tear,
The tired heart we cheer,
Faith in our works appear,
Upheld by Love.


O CANADA

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
 True patriot love in all thy sons command.

  With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
 O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
  O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

  O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
OUR LADY QUEEN OF THE KNIGHTS

Our Lady
Queen of the Knights
Bless all the activities of our Order
Keep us true to the Pledge
To extend the kingship of the Divine Son on earth.
Through Thine intercession
Win for us the grace
Ever to exemplify in our public and private lives,
The virtues which should characterize
Those specially dedicated
To the service of the Heavenly Court.
We are constantly observed
Our faith judged
And our Order appreciated.
Accept, 0 Mary,
This renewed Pledge of faith and devotion
Of thy servants,
The Knights of Columbus.
Amen.
