School anthem
Omring van wydse koringvelde
Waar nog die Trekkerspore staan,
Sal ons sy daad en deug vermelde
Solank ons nuwe weë baan,
Roep uit bo somergroene velde
Roep uit met fier gespanne stem:
Ons roem die veels te min vermelde,
ons roem die skool van Bethlehem.
Refrein:
Krag van hart en krag van gees,
Ons wil trou en suiwer wees:
Vreugde uit die hart gedra,
Krag van jong Suid-Afrika,
(Krag tot dade, krag herbore
tot die hoogste uitverkore)
