Old Palace School Song

Come Comrades, let us all unite in singing
Of this our school, we love so well;
And in this old and stately building,
Its praise and honour tell.
Its ancient stones are very dear to us,
A goodly heritage have we.
And loudly rings its Call to Service
Pro Ecclesia Dei.

Within these walls, have great men lived and laboured,
To keep our Church and Country free,
O let us follow in their footsteps
Pro Ecclesia Dei.
For days of joy we now are sharing
With courage strong and conscience free
And faileth ne'er the Call to Service
Pro Ecclesia Dei.

And then in distant days to come, when severed
From these our friends, by land and sea,
We'll still be faithful to our motto
Pro Ecclesia Dei.
For though the time is swiftly fleeting
And changes come to you and me,
Our Union lies in Call to Service,
Pro Ecclesia Dei.
