O Sing for Academy
O sing for Academy ye true lads,
‘Tis here we prepare for life’s road
Our school standing here upon the hillside
Forever our hearts glad abode
Chorus
Albert Academy, Esse Quam Videri
Rather to be than to seem
Our School neath’ the trees upon the hillside
O never Her honour demean
For we are her true sons so ready
To honour her all of her days
Our school stands so sure and so steady
And so shall we be in all our ways
Chorus
Then come loyal hearted sons enduring
Whatever this life may bring forth
Forever thy praises we’ll be singing
Academy show forth thy worth
Chorus
For Christ and our School stand we ever
We are loyal to them to the end
Our lives for their service give we ever
O may we be worthy to send
Evening Song
Softly now the twilight falls
O’er the Hills and grey stone walls
Through the campus dark and deep
Now the evening shadows creep
Comrades gather side by side
In the dusky evening tide
Neath the sun’s declining rays
Lift their hymns of evening praise.
Chorus
Alma Mater hail to thee
True and loyal hearts have we,
Well we’ve loved thee in the past
Still we’ll love thee to the last.
Hail the red and white so bold
Wide our banners now unfold
See the colours loved and fair,
Streaming in the evening air.
Lo, the western sky aflame,
At the praise of thy dear name,
Lift this song our hearts inspire
Pointing us to something higher.
Chorus
Alma Mater hail to thee
True and loyal hearts have we,
Well we’ve loved thee in the past
Still we’ll love thee to the last.
