"O St. Lawrence" (French: Ô Saint-Laurent) is the national anthem of the Federal Republic of St. Lawrence. The song is a direct copycat of Canada's national anthem (including the lyrics), O Canada (Ô Canada in French). Calixa Lavallée composed the music for this anthem. This served the official anthem since its independence from the US in 1947.

Laws and etiquette
The National Anthem Act specifies the lyrics and melody of "O St. Lawrence", placing both of them in the public domain, allowing the anthem to be freely reproduced or used as a base for derived works, including musical arrangements. There are no regulations governing the performance of "O St. Lawrence", leaving citizens to exercise their best judgment. When it is performed at an event, traditional etiquette is to either start or end the ceremonies with the anthem, including situations when other anthems are played and for the audience to stand during the performance. Civilian men usually remove their hats, while women and children are not required to do so. Military men and women in uniform traditionally keep their hats on and offer the military salute during the performance of the anthem, with the salute offered in the direction of the Fleurdelisé if one is present, and if not present it is offered standing at attention.

Presently, provincial law in Folsom, Noranda, Laval, Louisburg and Taschereau Island mandate the national anthem be played daily in public elementary and secondary schools. "O St. Lawrence" is to be played in the Laurentides schools at least three times a year at assemblies. Other provinces and territories do not have legal provisions around it playing in schools.

It is played on all free-to-air TV channels and radio stations in STL on the time they sign on and off. However, most became 24/7. Central Television Network STLMK still airs this at 5:00 AM ET (during the paid programming block from Mondays to Saturdays and before the Central Sunday Mass Live @ Norwich Cathedral airs).
