The Misamis Occidental Provincial Hymn
- Upon a gentle southern sea
- We sing with voices loud and free
- Beneath gay palms and grains so fresh
- Our hearts as one forever be
Chorus:
- Misamis Occidental,
- To thee we sing our praise
- Paying thee humble tribute
- Of joy and spirit gay
- Mount Malindang caused us all
- To stand upright, proud at thy call
- No, never shall we see thee cry
- Instead we'll allow not thy fall
- Your streams our inspiration too
- Your sons and daughters with it aglow
- All call to thy mantle of love
- We feel it so, we feel it so

Famous quotes containing the words occidental, provincial and/or hymn:
“There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, When you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun. To which the latter replies, But we so prolong the day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn’t developed space travel were mere prehistory—horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene—and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“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,
Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
