Hail! Hail! the name we own
Hail! to the giver
Blessings and bright renown
Be his forever
All his martial deeds may die
Lasting still his charity
This his laurel blooms for aye
Dead he lives in us today
This then our song shall be
As we chant his eulogy
May our Founder's name endure
Ever spotless, ever pure
Hail! Hail! the name we own
Hail! to the giver
Blessing and bright renown
Be his forever
Faithful may we ever be
Followers of his constancy
Firm of hand against the foe
Soft of heart to succour woe
This then our song shall be
As we chant his eulogy
May our Founder's name endure
Ever spotless ever pure
Hail! Hail! the name we own
Hail! to the giver
Blessing and bright renown
Be his forever
Something about X'mas and New Year's Eve brings back memories of school and our school song more vividly. And I seem to have sung our school song more often after i left school than while i was in it! And you'd be surprised at the no. of people who joined me, over the years. One New Year's Eve, I discovered two other people who were ex-martinians just coz they joined me in the singing :P Didnt want to take chances with my memory - found the words to our song in wikipedia.
