Fide et Labore

SJI RALLY

Cheer cheer and courage display,
All Ye Johannians join in the lay,
Send a volley of cheers on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small,
Dear old St John's will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching,
Onward to victory,

Rise boys and loudly proclaim,
That ye will never sully her name,
Let the hills and woodlands ring,
Lift up your hearts and loudly sing,
What though the way be rough or steep,
We're unto virtue summons to keep,
And if e'er our country needs us,
Loyal and true we'll be,
ST. JOHN'S!

Fide et Labore!
