In thy school, Lord, we sing in honour and praise
Take, oh Lord, take each and every day
Teach us to love, teach us to give, teach us to pray
Guide our minds, when we're at work, we find so difficult
Knowing well we need to know all there's to know
Take our strengths, spent on the fields in anticipation
There's a victory to be won
We belong, students of Sacred Heart
Teach us to love, teach us to give, teach u s to pray
Bless oh Lord, our dear parents, their every sacrifice
Bless oh Lord, our teachers too, their every toil
Keep oh Lord, under thy care this great big family
As we sing, praising thy name
We belong, students of Sacred Heart
Teach us to love, teach us to give, teach us to pray
Teach us to love, teach us to give, teach us to pray
