SCHOOL SONG
God of Heaven send thy blessing
On this our school
May they peace and joy unending
rest on your school
Guard us, guide us, feed us keep us
And from sin and stain defend us
Each day let thy love surround us
In this our school
Grant the teachers daily guidance
At this school
Here amidst the scenic splendor
Of this dear school
Grant Thy blessing and Thy favor
To this our school
Let our minds in peace be shadowed
From Life's dim and strife secluded
In our Hearts Thy love enfolded
In this our school
Composed by - Edit Stewart, Principal
Bless us all as here we gather
Each day at school
To love as brother, friend and sister
In this dear school
Let not evil mar our Progress
May each thought be pure and sinless
And our deeds at all times stainless
In this our school
Give the quite brave endurance
Each day at school
In their task oft times so tedious
Grant them strength and faith to lead us
Wisdom and love and grave to help us
In this our school
When at last we all are parted
From this dear school
May we join the faithful-hearted
In that great school
There all taint and evil perish
Doubts and fears and griefs shall vanish
Praise be sung from those we cherish
In this our school
