THE MUIR COLLEGE SONG
Stand and sing for auld lang syne, shout till the
rafters ring,
Stand and sing our song once again, let every loyal
heart now sing.
Then think of all the happy hours, think of the
careless days.
Think of all who went before us, yet linger in our
thoughts always.
Let us sing to the Muir, to the school with the
glorious memories,
To the men of the past, and the name they have
handed down to us;
To the life and the strife, in the games that are
stirring and calling us;
Carry on! Carry on! Carry on the good name of the
Muir!
So – stand and sing for auld lang syne, shout till the
rafters ring.
Stand and sing our song once again, let every loyal
heart now sing.
Then think of all the happy hours, think of the
careless days.
Think of all who went before us, yet linger in our
thoughts always.
