College Hymn

Eternal God and Father

We praise you for St. John’s

Our beloved, alma mater

Blest, sturdy, sure and strong

With age she grows in beauty

Sharing the mighty truth;

Light drives away the darkness

The shades of gloom retreat.

We bless the early pioneers

Who had the vision grand,

To bring the torch of learning

To Lanka’s golden strand

They lit the flame undying

Of faith and hope and love

Of boldness, grit and courage,

In work and sport and games.

Lead, Lord into the future

Both teacher and the taught,

To seek the truth and keep it

However, hard it be;

To hope and pray and labour,

In spite of mighty odds;

And win the golden medal

In life’s Olympic race.

O light of light eternal

To, Lanka grant your peace,

O let your Holy Spirit

Into our hearts breathe love,

And may our College flourish,

From age to age, for aye;

A lighthouse in the darkness,

Of wisdom, joy and hope.

College Song

Decked with shady palms and trees

Fringed with rich mahoganies,

There beneath a glowing sky,

St. John’s uprears her crest on high.

Chorus:

Praise St. John, your patron saint.

And lest in deed or word you taint

Your Alma Mater’s ancient name,

Johnians! Always play the game.

Christian lore she gives her boys,

Ever prizing heavenly joys,

Her highest pride a noble mind,

Her greatest joy a heart that’s kind.

Chorus

“In the darkness shines the light”

Johnians! With your torches bright,

Chase the gloom of night away,

Shed thro’ the world eternal day.

Chorus

S.J.Gunasegaram.
