Ozamiz City Hymn: Forward Ozamiz Forward

By the shores of the occidental sea

Rose a small town, the gem of Panguil
Bay.

Called the gateway to the land of

promise
Our great forefathers named it
Misamis.
 The wooded mountains and the
fertile plains
Tilled with patience by hands of
industry

Came the progress that led to

glorious gains
The port of bounty became Ozamiz
City
Forward Ozamiz forward
Move on, fulfill your
destiny
Onward Ozamiz onward
Achieve your place in
history.
 With Our Lady of the
Mighty Fortress,
Our Shield from harm
and our shield of peace.
Forward Ozamiz Forward
A city of peace and love
 The Spanish ships that
anchored on the shore
Brought the cross and the faith
to rich and poor
Noble leaders stirred by God
Almighty
Forever reign peace and
prosperity.
Blood of Subanen runs through
our veins
Mixed with Oriental and
Castillian genes
Special people blessed by God
Almighty
Forever proud of our gallant
ancestry.
Forward Ozamiz
forward
Move on, fulfill
your destiny
 Onward Ozamiz
onward
Achieve your place
in history.
With Our Lady
of the Mighty
Fortress
 Our Shield
from harm and
our shield of
peace.
Forward Ozamiz
Forward
A city of peace
and love
Forward Ozamiz
Forward
A city of peace
and love
