Cnis Prayer Song

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Do you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up … To more than I can be.

School Anthem

Hail ! Christ Nagar Alma Mater! Hail!
We, thy children, in grey and blue,
Around thy glorious banner stand,
With lamps lit from thy sacred Light
To guide our steps in the encircling gloom.
Singing the hymn of Rishis of yore.
“Tamaso ma jyothir gamaya”

God bless our glorious Alma Mater!
In faith and hope we’ll march ahead
In quest of Truth that liberation brings
From bondage of falsehood, ignorance and death
Ush’ring in the Lord’s joy
As we chant the Maharshi’s hymn,
“Asato ma Sat gamaya”

O glorious Christ Nagar, Alma Mater!
Teach us to love and bright’n the world,
That is crippled and broken apart,
By our own greed, hate and malice.
O ! help us heal this moribund world,
And make it whole, an abode of peace.
“Mrityor ma Amritham gamaya”

“Asato ma Sat gamaya
Tamaso ma Jyothir gamaya
Mrityor ma Amritham gmaya”

(God bless CNIS Alma Mater!)
