The Glorious Land of Maple Leaf

Come let us join the tuneful throng

And sing a new Canadian song,

As this great lands of woods and lakes

Sweet melody in us awakes,

For of all land this is the chief

This glorious land of maple leaf.

It is land of streams and rivers

And the land of toiling beavers,

More noble emblems we rely on

Than preying eagle, bear or lion,

True, worthy honours are not brief,

But flourish shall the maple leaf.

For the grand maple wood is strong

And labour ranks high in our song

So let us glory in our soil

Where nature doth reward for toil,

And ever banish all our grief

Rejoicing in our maple leaf.

With gloom we should not be o’ercast

For we have a young empire vast,

Awaiting only for the plough

When all with wealth it will endow,

Then of all lands ’twill be the chief

This glorious land of maple leaf.
