The Maple Leaf Forever by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Alexander Muir Lyrics
[Verse 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, 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!
[Verse 2]
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!
[Verse 3]
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]
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear
The Maple Leaf forever!
God save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!
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!
[Verse 2]
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!
[Verse 3]
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]
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear
The Maple Leaf forever!
God save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!
