I don't see any particular urgency or need to change the "in all thy sons command" line. The one line I would prefer updated is:

"Our home and native land". There was a campaign 20 years ago that never really go off the ground to change this to "Our home and cherished land" because I think the last statistic was nearly 25% of all Canadians were immigrants to this country and this is their adopted and cherished home, not their native land.
