SCHOOL HYMN O God of Bethel, by Whose hand Thy people still are fed, Who through this weary pilgrimage Has all our fathers led;
Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy throne of grace; God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race. Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide.
O spread Thy covering wings around, Till all our wandering cease, And at our Father’s loved abode Our souls arrive in peace.
Such blessings from Thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore, And Thou shalt be our chosen God, And portion evermore.

THE RHENISH SONG In this lovely Stellenbosch valley The Pride of Van der Stel With the historic oaks above us In the school we love so well. With the rippling streams as music Accompanying work or play, And the blue sky shining brightly We strive from day to day.
We may not all be brilliant, In sports not all do well, But the hope of each and all of us Is that Rhenish may excel. Ebenezer is our watchword, For our school our hearts beat strong. God guide our eager footsteps Sing praise in this our song.
