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)
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
—Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)
