SCHOOL SONG
St. Edward Patron of our school
And protector of our youth
Guide us in our search for truth
To the Holy Ghost Faithful
Instill in us true leadership
Model of Christian piety
So may we always honor thee
For all our lives to see
The name Edwardian proudly stands
In our country's honor roll
Inspiring us to follow close
Those who to great heights rose
With prayers our battle we shall fight
And all life's struggles win
We shall be loyal to our school
To our kith and kin
However far in days to come
Our lives may make us roam
The closest friends will be those made
In youth at boyhoods home
Sing hail to Edward king and saint
Confessor pure and chaste
Enjoying now that heavenly bliss
Which we soon hope to taste.
