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, joined in love together,

The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine

The Maple Leaf forever!

Chorus

The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,

The Maple Leaf forever!

God save our Queen and Heaven bless

The Maple Leaf forever!

At Queenston Heights and Lundy’s Lane,

Our brave fathers, side by side,

For freedom, homes 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!”

Chorus

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!

Chorus

On merry England’s far famed land

May kind heaven sweetly smile,

God bless old Scotland evermore

and Ireland’s Em’rald Isle!

And swell the song both loud and long

Till rocks and forest quiver!

God save our Queen and Heaven bless

The Maple Leaf forever!

Chorus
