A Song of Vancouver
By R. W. HOLLAND
1912

( Tune:
Vancouver, Gate of Empire wide,
A future vast we promise you.

You lie in smiling grace beside
The Western Sea of Blue;

Behind you stretch the ageless hills
With untold wealth to glean,

Their mighty grandeur jewelled oft
With valley, lake and stream.

The Maple Leaf Forever")

The whole world holds no fairer place-
No grander setting for a town

So grow in beauty, grow in grace,
And grow in fair renown ;

Remember that your greatness lies
In aiding all endeavor

All good and honest enterprise.
We'll sing your praise forever.

Chorus:

Vancouver and our Province grand,

We'll sing your praise forever ”
God bless our Town, God bless our Land,

The Maple Leaf forever!
