1. Come, dear schoolmates, let us rallyRound the educator’s stand,Where true wisdom’s ever sounding,And with truth goes hand in hand.Let us seek for all true knowledge,And from ignorance get free,And with joyous, gladsome voicesHail the dawn of victory.
2. Education throws her portalsOpen widely to us all;Shall we gather round her standard?Shall we answer to her call?Shall we longer waste the momentsThat to us are kindly giv’n?Shall we by the pow’r of errorInto darkest night be driv’n?
3. Hark! I hear an eager answer:“Yes, dear friends, we’ll join with you,We will aid you in the battle,Struggle manfully and true;Darkness, ignorance shall vanish,Light and knowledge take their place;And improvement be our motto,We’ll advance at rapid pace.”
4. Then we’ll clasp our hands in friendship,And a mighty phalanx stand;Be impregnable to arrowsHurled by Superstition’s hand.Now the field has opened widely,There is room enough for all;Rally, then, and join our army,Answer Education’s call.
