School Chorus

School Chorus

1: Hurrah for our home in the mountains

Hurrah for the monarchs of snow,

For the land of the forest and fountain

And the torrents that ever flow (2)

Chorus:

Toil up from the valley below

Lift your hearts to the breeze and the glow,

For our school on the hill

Here's a cheer for it still - Hurrah!

As onwards through life we go (2)

2: From the sweltering south and the islands

From the plains where the hot winds blow

We have met in the heart of the highlands

At fair India's gates of snow (2)

3: Here's a hand to a faltering brother

Here's a lift for the lame and the slow

And we'll stand boys like men to each other

As onwards through life we go (2)

From Edmund Jonah (NP '51):

I thought you might like to see the new last verse I wrote for the NP Chorus:

There are those who have gone forth before us,

Who are spread everywhere one may go;

We are sure they would join in the chorus,

For their hearts still retain the old glow.

Yes, their hearts still retain the old glow.
