School Hymn

School Hymn

O God, Creator of our Island Mountains
O Jesus seeking green hillside to pray
O Spirit strength to pilgrim climbing heavenward
Blest Trinity, we hymn Thee day by day.

Here in our hillside school we feel thy presence
In starlight, dawn and sunset Thou art near,
Oh may Thy earthly glory lead us onward
Our shining eyes lit up by vision clear.

We care not for the lure of worldly pleasures,
We shall go forth as pilgrims sandal shod
the City which hath true foundation claim us
Whose builder and whose maker is our God.

And while within these walls we live as schoolgirls
With days set free to learn and test out powers,
Oh guard within our souls the Heaven vision
While to our pilgrim's lore we give these hours.

And as we dare and do in brave endeavour
And 'res severa verum gaudium' sing
Oh may we urged by sacrifice and service
Our noblest to the great adventure bring.

And when the call comes to fare forth as pilgrims
We'll take the road to serve and sing Thy praise,
With minds alert and hearts attuned to struggle,
Through lessons learned of Thee in girlhood days
