The School Song

Surely, no one who has been at school can possibly forget our School Song!

However, for those for whom nostalgia is not what it used to be . . .

Not in some shelter’d nook
Of inland calm and rest,
But on the stream of trade
With North, South, East and West.
Where countless ships go by
To brave the angry sea
We found thee, dear old school,
And faithful cleave to thee.

Crescat, Crescat, Crosbeia,
Crescat, Crescat, Crosbeia,
Floreat, Floreat Fortuna,
Floreat.

We owe thee lessons taught
To foster manhood true,
And send us forth prepared
To wait, and dare, and do;
To honour good and right,
To answer duty’s call,
In steadfast loyalty
United, one and all.

Taken from “Crosby Songs” - The song book of Merchant Taylors’ School Crosby. June 1934.
