SongLight of the world, from whom all truth proceeding,

Dawns on each heart that humbly seeks thy face, Lowly we wait on Thee, and Thine hand leading, Follow thy guidance to thy holy place.

In thee O lord, had all things find their beginning In thee, at last, shall all things find their end. Thou knowest all; and we our knowledge winning, By thee alone its widening bounds extend.

How marvelous the wonders, Thou has taught us, And still dost teach us each succeeding day! From darkness into light, Thine hands hast brought us, To fuller light directed all our way.

Not ours to know all truth; there lie around us, Unmeasured heights above and depths below, Thee would we know, Thy love which sought and found us, Shall teach all else ‘tis meet that we should know.

Not ours to know all truth; there lie around us,

Unmeasured heights above and depths below,

Morant Bay High School in Morant Bay, St Thomas, Jamaica was founded in 1961.[2][3]

At the time of its opening, St Thomas was the last Jamaican parish without a high school.[3]

The original site was situated on seven or eight acres of land bought from the Methodist Church.[3] An old manse on the site was the first school building with sixty one students attending on the first day of opening in January 1961.[3]
