Arise all ye of Afric’s birth

Whose heritage doth envy scythe

Sing ye the joy of Sekco dear

Pay ye your vows your loyalty

Hail boys (Hail boys)

Cheer girls (Cheer girls)

For our mother Sekco dear


All generations yet to come

Shall by your labours judge you right

If good they’ll say and praises give

If not they’ll censure and condemn

Tis yours to save ye gallant youth

Tis yours to cheer oh pretty maids

If Sekco dear should ever stand

For liberty for hope for you


Our Father God which at in Heaven

Oh! Come our aid our school to bless

Inspire us with Thy spirit bold

That we may live in godliness. [3]
