Balmain Teachers College Anthem
Balmain Teachers College Song by Ella Turnbull
(First version below and the 2 verses of the second and final version is in the music above) 1. Unto this shining hour we bring The wealth of years; the wealth of years; We dedicate this time of Spring Its zeal, its fire, this glowing thing Of youth and hope, of thought a-wing To children’s ears, to children’s ears. Of youth and hope, of thought a-wing To children’s ears, to children’s ears. 2. On us their eager eyes will rest; Young voices ask, young voices ask For substance in the human quest For knowledge that at God’s behest Is hid till that eternal rest Beyond our task, beyond our task Is hid till that eternal rest Beyond our task, beyond our task. 3. God grant us insight, grant us grace To wield in love, to wield in love The sceptre of our power; things base Help us from childish hearts erase; Let noble things take pride of place, All else above, all else above. Let noble things take pride of place, All else above, all else above. All else above. |
