School Hymn
King of glory, King of peace
King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee;
and that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast,
thou hast spared me.
Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me;
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
to enrol thee:
e’en eternity’s too short
to extol thee.
George Herbert (1593 – 1633)
MIS Anthem
I arise and shine for my light has come.
My light has indeed come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon me.
I arise and shine,
I arise and shine.
Habeo rationem celebrandi,
Habeo rationem jubilare,
gloria enim Dei super me est.
Ego sum differentia!
The LORD arises over me,
And His glory is seen upon me.
Nations shall come to my light,
And kings to the brightness of my rising.
I arise and shine,
I arise and shine.
Translation of Latin
I have a reason to celebrate.
I have a reason to jubilate.
For the glory of God is upon me.
I am the difference.
