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