City Hymn
CITY OF HEARTS
(1st Verse)
Masbate in my mind
Heart of the Philippine isles
For the love of our land and soil
Bloom the flowers of our charm and toil
Protect the wildlife,the seas and trees
Springs of hope,flowing rivers that inspire
For our children now,for tomorrow
Leading to a beautiful dawn
(Chorus)
Masbate by the bay
City of hearts of worth and prayer
Loving deeply,living simply
One for peace and harmony
So proud stands the winner by our sweat bless o redeemer
Masbate City 'tis our duty all the
Way to give you glory
(2nd Verse)
Masbate to the fore!
Harbor of talents galore
Keepin' a pace with tech and time
For a healthy life and rhyme
Sun is high,let our dreams come true!
In unity,we achieve with all our might
Smiling people,nature lovers
Marching,unflinching and strong!
(Repeat Chorus)
Masbate city,our pride,our joy
Seat of devotion,poetry in motion
Beat with the City of Hearts ...

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or hymn:
“I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city,
Whereupon lo! upsprang the aboriginal name.
Now I see what there is in a name, a word, liquid, sane, unruly,
musical, self-sufficient,
I see that the word of my city is that word from of old,
Because I see that word nested in nests of water-bays, superb,
Rich, hemmd thick all around with sailships and steamships, an
island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“The starting point of the human and the end,
That in which space itself is contained, the gate
To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
By day, night and that which night illumines,
Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
Nights hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
