[edit] School Hymm

We build our school on Thee, O Lord To Thee we bring our common need. The loving heart, the helpful word, The tender thought, the kindly deed, With these we pray Thy spirit may Enrich and bless our school alway.

We work together in Thy sight, We live together in Thy love, Guide Thou our faltering steps aright, And lift our thoughts to heaven above, Dear Lord, we pray Thy spirit may, Be present in our school alway.

Hold Thou each hand, to keep it just, Touch Thou our lips, and make them pure, If Thou art with us, Lord, we must Be faithful friends and comrades sure Dear Lord, we pray Thy spirit may Be present in our school alway.

We change, but Thou art still the same, The same good master, teacher, friend, We change, but Lord, we bear Thy name, To journey with it to the end, And so we pray Thy spirit may Be present in our school alway.
