My congratulations to Rob...the words are correct...and now (drum
roll in background)...the moment you've been waiting for....

....the 4th verse to O Canada...

       Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble pray'r
       Hold our Dominion, in Thy loving care
       Help us to find, O God in Thee
       A lasting rich reward,
       As waiting for the better day
       We ever stand on gaurd!

According to the music book I have (copyrighted in 1933) the
words were by His Ho. R. Stanley Weir D.C.L. and the melody,
of course, was by Lavallee.
