School Song

CHORUS

Home of our childhood, our boyhood, our youth,
Where there is courage and honour and truth,
Where we are taught how to seek for the right,
Struggle and conquer in life’s great fight.

VERSE 1

‘Virtue and Labour’, our motto we’ll strive,
Ever to follow and keep alive,
Ideals and aims that it teaches us here,
True to St. George, our patron dear.
——Repeat – Chorus——

VERSE 2

God bless St. George’s! Let this be our prayer,
That He will always have our School in His care,
Ever our banner we’ll keep flying high,
For God and the truth we’ll live or we’ll die.
——Repeat – Chorus——

SCHOOL PRAYER

Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, you pardon Lord,
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

Chorus:
Oh Master, grant that I may never seek.
So much to be consoled, as to console.
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness, Lord, your shining light,
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In Giving to all men that we receive,
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
