The Maple Leaf Forever

Author: Alexander Muir Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4164 First Line: In days of yore, from Britain's shore Refrain First Line: The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear Lyrics: 1. In days of yore, from Britain’s shore, Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came And planted firm Britannia’s flag On Canada’s fair domain! Here may it wave, our boast, our pride, And join in love together, The Thistle, Shamrock, Rose entwine, The Maple Leaf forever. Refrain The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever! God save the King and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf forever! 2. At Queenston Heights and Lundy’s lane Our brave fathers side by side For freedom’s right and loved ones dear Firmly stood and nobly died. And those dear rights which they maintained We swear to yield them never Our watchword evermore shall be The Maple Leaf forever. [Refrain] 3. Our fair dominion now extends From Cape Race to Nootka Sound; May peace forever be our lot And plenteous store abound; And may those ties of love be ours Which discord cannot sever, And flourish green o’er Freedom’s home The Maple Leaf forever. [Refrain] 4. On merry England’s far-famed land May kind Heaven sweetly smile; God bless old Scotland evermore And Ireland’s Emerald isle. Then swell the song both loud and long, Till rocks and forest quiver; God save our King and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf forever! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In days of yore, from Britain's shore]
