School Song / School Prayer / Jubilee Song

---

Play up, Play up, Play up, Play up

Play up, Play up, Play up, Play up

And Play the game.

This is a world, that year by year

While in our place the school is set

And every one of our girls must hear

And none that hears it dares forget 

This they all with a joyful mind

Bear through life like a torch in flame

And falling fling, to the host behind

Play up, Play up, Play up, Play up

Play up, Play up, Play up, Play up

And Play the game.

There’s a breathless hush

In the close tonight

Ten to make and the match to win

A bumpy pitch and a blinding light

An hour to play and the last man in.

But ‘tis not for the sake of a ribboned coat

Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame

But the captain’s hand on his shoulder smote.

Play up, Play up, Play up, Play up

Play up, Play up, Play up, Play up

And Play the game.

O God we pray thee

To look mercifully upon all in this school,

Unite us together in love,

Teach us to be good to others,

Help us day by day to live to thy glory, 

To grow in grace and to be faithful in good works,

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Bright hopes did stir our founder’s mind

To build a school of national pride

Where the young with gifts of many varied kinds

Will develop side by side

Thus as loyal citizens, FSSGians learn to excel

They have grit, they have drive

All the world can tell, Then from all around

Let our voices sound!

FSSGians, FSSGians,, Play up, Play up,

FSSGians, Play up, Play up, Play up

All Play the Game.

In the school of life with heart and mind and hand

We strive only for the best

For this our school, for this our native land

We will stand up to the test

So with Zeal and with Zest, our lives we bend

To the task in hand, right to the end

Then from all around, Let our voices sound

FSSGians, FSSGians,, Play up, Play up,

FSSGians, Play up, Play up, Play up

All Play the Game.

When in the school of life, we as adults start

This is the word that we all declare

High ideas, fair play, these are what we’ve learned

From teachers true and school mates dear

So with confidence and faith, our paths we tread

With the goal in mind, forging right ahead

Now from all around, let our voices sound

FSSGians, FSSGians,, Play up, Play up,

FSSGians, Play up, Play up, Play up

All Play the Game
