Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
From the prairie fields of golden wheat
From the frozen north, and the busy street
Comes a ringing voice of welcome to our Queen
From the thunder of Niagra’s roar
From the western plain, and the eastern shore
Come resounding cheers of welcome to our Queen
There’s a burst of song from voices clear and strong
And all are cadenced, “Long May She Reign”
From the valley’s deep, the mountains tall
From the prayerful hearts of one and all
Come the cheers, and the songs
Blending ‘cross the Canadian scene
Welcome to her majesty the Queen
