THE ENGLISH VERSION
"HAIL SELHURST!"
1. Where a smiling woodland lay, fortune’s
happy bower,
There our school stands forth in grace,
May the genius of the place
Guard us with her power, guard us with her power.
Hail Selhurst, woodland fair,
Hail to Selhurst’s fost’ring care
May she flourish now and ever
2. Under thy beloved care, in our task persisting,
Be the prospect dull or bright,
Ev’ry burden a delight
To us, you assisting; to us, you assisting.
Hail Selhurst, woodland fair,
Hail to Selhurst’s fost’ring care
May she flourish now and ever
3. When the garb of youth is shed, to the struggle
bending,
Let remembrance turn to you,
Almae Matri, what is due
To your careful tending, to your careful tending.
Hail Selhurst, woodland fair,
Hail to Selhurst’s fost’ring care
May she flourish now and ever
4. Let us praise our noble dead – When
our country beckoned,
Gladly without scruple nice,
Gave their lives, a sacrifice,
Nor the loss e’er reckoned, nor the loss e’er reckoned
Hail Selhurst, woodland fair,
Hail to Selhurst’s fost’ring care
May she flourish now and ever
