THESONG OF AQUINAS
Words Mr J Stokes
Music Mr G Crooks
We ask you Lord to make us strong
To seek the right and spurn the wrong
To raise the flame of Learning’s spark
That lights the mind, dispels the dark, And shows the road Aquinas trod:
Truth conquers all for sons of God!
You are the sun, we are the seed
You are the life, we are the breed:
Australia’s sons who brave the day
And know that Christ will light the way, Aquinas’ sons, who serve the Lord and sing the praise of God adored!
And some there are have gone before Aquinas’ sons who died in war. For right they fought, like men they died And men recall their names with pride.
Our hymn of praise for them we sing They live in light with Christ our King.
By Canning waters still serene
In playing fields of mellow green Where Chapel stone enshrines the hours Aquinas dreams from sunlit towers
And prayer enkindles faith again That God will make us worthy men.
Our prayer of hope to God ascends
For priests and brothers, teachers, friends
That in the darker hours of youth
Their words will show the way to truth And lead us from the doubts of night
To faith renewed in morning’s light.
The sweetest sound of bat on ball, The soaring leap, the urgent call, The rhythmic pace, the easy skill, And flexing muscle, steel the will:
The red and black will strive once more And hope becomes a surging roar!
We ask you Lord to make us strong
To seek the right and spurn the wrong
To raise the flame of Learning’s spark
That lights the mind, dispels the dark, And shows the road great Edmund trod: Truth conquers all for sons of God!
