CONVOCATION PROCESSION
(The audience is requested to stand for the procession.)
Trumpet Voluntary in C Major
Written by Henry Purcell
NATIONAL ANTHEMS
(The audience is requested to remain standing and sing.)
Recorded by David M. Wagner
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.
The Star-Spangled Banner
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last
gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the
perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly
streaming.
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
