SCHOOL HYMN
O God of Bethel, by Whose hand
Thy people still are fed,
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Has all our fathers led;
Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
O spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wandering cease,
And at our Father’s loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore,
And Thou shalt be our chosen God,
And portion evermore.

THE RHENISH SONG
In this lovely Stellenbosch valley
The Pride of Van der Stel
With the historic oaks above us
In the school we love so well.
With the rippling streams as
music
Accompanying work or play,
And the blue sky shining
brightly
We strive from day to day.
We may not all be brilliant,
In sports not all do well,
But the hope of each and all of
us
Is that Rhenish may excel.
Ebenezer is our watchword,
For our school our hearts beat
strong.
God guide our eager footsteps
Sing praise in this our song.
