Rouse up lads and lasses and list to the song That rings acclamation to dear Kalimpong, For there are the Homes that we love and declare, There's nothing so good to be found anywhere.
CHORUS
Raise the chorus, hurrah, 'Tis our rallying song, Saint Andrew's, forever, Thorough boys (girls!), thorough. Remember Saint Andrew's and old Kalimpong.
Our cottages teach us the value of work, In games we despise still the one who would shirk, In school to be the nearest the top we all try. Our training thus fits us on self to rely.
CHORUS
Our Commonwealth is ready to honour each son By loyally praising a duty well done So, whether in India or over the seas, We'll earnestly seek to maintain her decrees.
CHORUS
But far above all to our God let's be true, And try to be Christlike in all that we do, For then we'll be happy and go on our way, Rejoicing and singing the whole of the day.
Nice to see you all here, Yes Tsering I remember Mt. Herman singing this song, but never ever thought it would become our school song, I wonder , if the tune has also changed. Nothing like 'St Andrew's Song, would to love to have the lyrics of the old song. Errol you must have it!!!!
Well Hilda, you are. This one is the current one and has been going since you left. However, when we OGBs get together and there is a mix of old & young, we sing both. My preference is the old one but those words (somehow) don't suit what DGH stands for today.
Hey sonam, just thought id give u the school song,sorry bit tooo late but better late than never,keep and for ur next birthday celebrations u can pass it to everyone and have a good sing along.so here it goes.
Forward o youth,forever advancing, Look to horizons far. Eyes do not grope in depth of the night That look on a shining star, Nations, fearful in apartness Need your sight to light their darkness, Look up, O youth forever advancing Look to horizons far.
Waken! This hour is no time for sleeping Welcome the rising sun, Nations are stirring out of their slumbers Great is the work undone. Waken sisters!Waken brothers! Rise up now, and waken others! Welcome the morn,a new day is born When people shall live as one.
Go we with singing,over the land Wherever the roadways lie. Freedom shall be the theme of your song The watchword of peace your cry, Equal right for every brother, Lands at peace with one another Loyal to truth,the singing of yourth, Shall echo from hill to sky.

Enjoy sonam,keep it saved in your computer and make a copy and do your school proud with your OGB'S singing with shouts of joy. regards linda cameron-bene cottage-83
JR, I think its look "to" horizons far, not " not through" then I guess its " eyes do not grope in depths of the night" But look to the shining star" Nations faithful (?) in apartness need your sight to light the darkness Forward O youth forever advancing etc.. Not sure who composed it. Anyone?
Sorry thats all i know ,may be someone can add on...)
