St Thomas’s College Song

Words composed by Edmund de Livera



Thomians young and Thomians old

Thomians staunch and true!

Rally round the College Flag

The Blue, the Black and Blue

To your alma mater sing

Thomians near and far

Loudly let the echoes ring

For all we have and are



Chorus



Esto Perpetua

Esto Perpetua

Esto Perpetua

The Blue Black and Blue for ever!



Like the serpent keen and wise

Harmless as the dove,

By the cross we’re knit in one

Holy bond of love.

Loyal to our church and king

Both in Peace and War

To the College we will sing

For all we have and are



Chorus



In the field of intellect

Many a prize we’ve won

And upon the field of sport

Thomians yield to none

Be it work or be it play

We will do and dare

To the College therefore sing

For all we have and are



Chorus



We rejoice in victory

When our foes we beat

We have learnt, when fortune frowns

How to take defeat

All unfriendly rivalry

From our lives we bar

To the College therefore sing

For all we have and are



Chorus



When into the world we go

For our life’s career

As the call of duty sounds

We will answer clear

Onward to the goal we press

Guided by our star

To the College therefore sing

For all we have and are



Chorus
