With ageless hills she rimmed her bower, Her sunlit shrine of learning, And here we keep through shine and shower The Torch of knowledge burning. Chorus: Then grasp the torch another hand Has cast for our endeavor, By faith with fortitude this brand We'll keep aflame forever. The treasures time has handed down. Were dearly bought by sages, The poison cup, the martyr's crown Their guerdon through the ages. Their faith with fortitude we'll make The mould of our endeavor, And Hornsby, pride of place will take Among the schools forever. (You might guess from this that our school motto was 'Faith with fortitude') |
