Emanuel School Song: "The Noble Aim" Emanuel School Chapel Choir

School Song Pour Bien Désirer Emanuel! For the noble aimThat marked in days of old thy great design,For present merit and unsullied fame,Honour and love be thine.The love and reverence we giveTo those who gave us life and early care,Mother of Mothers, thou dost share,Who taught us how to live.Great relic of a knightly race and rule,Thy Founders' tenderness in thought and deedLives in the spirit of the SchoolWhich, passing, they decreed;Spirit of chivalrous intent,Spirit of duty scorning pain,Of loyal service freely spent,So Dacre lives again.Spirit of knowledge and of truth,Spirit of friendship, strong and pure,And love of country learned in youth,So Sackville doth endure.Thus armed in spirit, naught shall shake,Thy sons' resolve on stricken battle-fieldStainless to keep, and yet more glorious makeThy venerable shield;Memorial of old affrays,Of knightly deeds, and honour bravely won,That telleth yet of peaceful days,And simple duty done. Words by Charles Wilfrid Scott-GilesMusic by H. J. Evans(1916)
