'Neath these Carolina skies
On earth's fairest land;
Here our alma mater lies
Held in God's own hand.
May his blessings keep thee safe
May thy children be
True to these ideals we've learned.
James Byrnes High, from thee.
Here within these sheltering walls
Knowledge rules supreme;
Here we've lighted friendship's fires,
Shared in youth's bright dream.
Here the future meets today!
This our pledge shall be;
Faith in God and Freedom's way
Strength in liberty. |
Once across this quiet land
Winds of hatred blew.
War clouds thundered death upon
Boys in grey and blue.
Raise Byrnes High School banner high
See the blue and grey
Joinded at last iin one proud flag
Symbol of today.
Though your children travel far,
We'll remember still
Dreaming Carolina skies,
Peaceful Southern hills,
Where a Rebel standard flies
Proudly floating free--
Then our pledge we'll give anew,
James Byrnes High to thee. |
