Song Notes:

This song was written for Holy Cross school in New Gisborne Victoria. The school itself lives at the base of Mount Macedon, which has a large cross at its summit and so it figures prominently in the song.

Song Lyrics:

Holy Cross (school song)

Vs 1

In the shadows of the mountain

Where the cross stands firm and tall

There’s a school of caring children

And loving parents as a rule

There are teachers who give up their time

To help us on our way

And Holy Cross is its name

Holy Cross, Holy Cross

And Holy Cross is its name

 

Vs 2

And we will remember

The good years that we had

Of friendships which remain

Strong and true.

Our teachers who have helped us

And taught us as we grew

And Holy cross is our school

Holy Cross, Holy Cross

And Holy Cross is our school

 

Bridge

And we are at the start of the future for us all

We’ll make the very best of it we can

And we will remember that Jesus goes with us

In the shadow of the cross we will grow

And,.. Holy Cross, Holy Cross

Holy Cross is our school

Holy Cross, Holy Cross

Holy Cross is our school
