The School Song

I hear the school song has been abolished, so here it is (lest it altogether perish):

Horsley, a merchant venturer bold, Of good Northumbrian strain,
Founded our rule and built our school, In bluff King Harry's reign,
Long shall his name old time defy, Like the castle grim that stands,
Four-square to ev'ry wind that blows, In our stormy northern lands.
Chorus:
Fortifer defendit, fortiter defendit, fortifer defendit triumphans
Fortifer defendit, fortiter defendit, fortifer defendit triumphans

Many a name on the scroll of fame, Is the heritage of our land,
Collingwood and Armstrong, Eldon and Bourne, Akenside, Stowell and Brand,
Strong in their wisdom, wise in their strength, Wielders of sword and of pen,
Far went they forth from the school of the north, That mother and maker of men.
(Chorus)

God speed the school on the shores of the Tyne, That has stood for centuries four,
Bright may the star of her glory shine, Bright as in days of yore,
Pray too that we may worthy be, To tread where our fathers trod,
Bravely to fight for truth and right, For Motherland, King and God.
(Chorus)
