The School Song was composed by Frederick James Rowe who was an Assistant master in LMC from 1868-1870. After his death on 5th Jan, 1909, the school alumni placed a bronze tablet in his memory in what is now the Memorial corner inside the Visitors Lounge.
Chorus
Hail! Hail! The name we own,
Hail ! To the giver ;
Blessing and bright renown,
Be his for ever !
All his martial deeds may die,
Lasting still his charity,
This his laurel blooms for aye
Dead-he-lives in us to-day.
This then our song shall be,
As we chant his eulogy-
"May our Founder's name endure,
Ever spotless, ever pure!”
Chorus
Faithful may we ever be
Followers of his constancy,
Firm of hand against the foe,
Soft of heart to succour woe,
This then our song shall be
As we chant his eulogy-
"May our Founder's name endure
Ever spotless ever pure!"
Chorus
O Almighty God, and most merciful Father who has taught us to praise Thee as well for the dead as the living. We thank Thee for Claude Martin, our Founder, for Catchick Paul Chater, our benefactor, and for the lives and examples of all who have served thee in this School. Pour down Thy blessing, we pray Thee, upon those who are now here, Prosper our labours, as Thou in Thy wisdom see’st to be best for us. Protect us, we beseech thee, from all things hurtful both to soul and body. Preserve us by thy Holy Spirit from sin and selfishness, and make us generous and brave, pure and true, in all our work and in all our play, that our tasks being sanctified by Thy love, our days here may be attended by Thy blessing; and that when our day's work on earth is over, thou mayest send us rest from our labours under the shadow of Thy wings; for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord, AMEN.
