School Song & College Hymn
SCHOOL SONG
Come MC girls, lets proudly sing!
“We scatter light” the echoes ring,
Green flag unfurl, the lamp alight,
Within her glow let us unite.
From strength to strength we march along,
God is our guide, love is our song,
Service our goal, we gather here
To scatter light both far and near.
The lamp of love, the flame so bright,
This is the symbol of our might
With strength we lead, with grace we share,
A world of peace and joy declare.
Courage to face and conquer wrong,
The fight for truth and justice strong.
The world to reach and all embrace
We MC girls will take our place.
-Tarika Muthukrishna
(The second verse of the school song was added on the school’s 150th Anniversary in 2016.)
COLLEGE HYMN
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring,
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like thee His praise should sing?
Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise the everlasting king.
Praise Him for His grace and favour,
To our fathers in distress.
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide and swift to bless.
Praise Him, Praise Him,
Glorious in His faithfulness.
Father-like he tends and spares us,
Well our feeble frame He knows.
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes,
Praise Him, Praise Him,
Widely as His mercy flows.
Angels in the height adore Him,
Ye behold Him face to face.
Sun and moon bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise with us the God of grace.
-Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) – based on Psalm 103
