OUR ANTHEM
Anthem lyrics
CATHOLIC SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES SHISONG ARISE, ARISE SHISONG AND SHINE 2X
Created in nineteen fifty four
By the Franciscan sisterhood
Our thanks and tributes go to them
May God enrich them forever
Never stop seeking the Golden fleece
Drinking from the spring of truth
Living to love and loving to live
All you get at Shisong training school
I solemnly pledge myself before God.
Practicing my profession faithfully
Raising the standard of my profession
Devotion to all in my care. (2X)
The patient’s recovery is our pride
Working for life is a joyous tide
Being a health professional is a call
What a pride in leaving Shisong school
I am the eyes of the blind.
I am the legs of the lame.
God be my guide in this career. What noble profession we are
I solemnly pledge myself before God. Practicing my profession faithfully Raising the standard of my profession Devotion to ail in care 2x

The creation of the school anthem marked a defining moment in the institution’s history, a bold fusion of identity, and artistic brilliance. The lyrics, stirring and purposeful, echoed the heartbeat of the school’s values, uniting generations in pride and purpose. The instrumental composition brought the anthem to life, elevating words into a soaring symphony of hope, courage, and belonging.
The composers visionaries in every sense crafted melodies that transcended the ordinary, blending classical motifs with modern resonance. Each note was deliberate, each chord a reflection of the school’s spirit. Their artistry turned sentiment into sound, and heritage into harmony.
Equally commendable were the instrumental creators, whose attention to tone, timing, and texture transformed a simple tune into a powerful anthem. Their mastery gave the composition its soul whether through the warmth of strings, the triumph of brass, or the subtle dignity of percussion. Together, they didn’t just make music; they captured a legacy.
This anthem is not just sung it is felt. And it will be, for generations to come.
