Ngiyazi Qhenya (I’m Proud)
Stand proud, stand tall
When you hear the Fourways call.
It rises in the North,
It binds us one and all.
Be brave, be proud,
When they whisper say it loud,
Even if it separates us from the crowd.
Chorus
Ngiyazi qhenya,
I’m part of Fourways High.
Ngiyazi qhenya,
I’m proud to be at Fourways High.
The blue we wear,
Is the brotherhood we share.
Our hearts beat like a drum,
We’re brave though we are young.
A hand we lend
To our teachers and our friends,
‘Cause we know it’s all that matters in the end.
Chorus
Music and Lyrics by A. Heyl
Father God, Maker of Heaven and Earth
To know You is everlasting life,
And to serve You is perfect freedom.
We present ourselves to You to do Your will:
That those of us who teach, should do it responsibly;
Those who learn, should be receptive and grateful;
That we should lead, with all diligence,
And follow, with due respect.
To this end we pray:
“Woza Moya”, Come Holy Spirit, and transform us.
Make us servants of one another.
Whether we are Councillors, Students or Teachers.
Let us be gracious and merciful, honest and upright, reflecting Your nature.
Knowing that we will give an account before You, oh God,
And You alone.
We commit ourselves to use this place of learning to its full capacity,
To the Glory of God, and to the good of all mankind.
Lord hear our prayer,
And let our cry come to You.
Amen
Fourways’ Call
Come the day, come the hour.
Come the power and the glory.
We have come to answer Fourways’ call.
All for one and one for all!
Fourways, Fourways,
Together standing tall!
Shoulder to shoulder,
to answer Fourways’ call!
Standing out from the crowd.
Standing tall and proud.
Fighting spirits, fiery hearts.
Proud to be at Fourways!
Fourways, Fourways,
Together standing tall!
Shoulder to shoulder,
to answer Fourways’ call!
Hearts of steel, hearts of will,
a vow that can never be broken.
We will fight until we can fight no more.
Survivors! Eagles soar!
Fourways, Fourways,
Together standing tall!
Shoulder to shoulder,
to answer Fourways’ call!
