Music and Lyrics by Tan Keng Kang

Let’s sing a rousing song of praise
In honour of our Ghim Moh Secondary School
Let’s love our school just as our home
And show our loyalty to the full.

We strive to reach the highest goal
In all we do at work and play
We’ll give our best to heed the call
Of bouden duty every day.

Chorus
Persevere, persevere, persevere till the end
We’ll strive and strive with might and main
With our sustained effort there’ll be success
If we fail we’ll strive and find success again.

Our aim is high, our heart is stout
Our purpose clear – success to find
All obstacles that cross our way
We can overcome with steadfast mind.

The best in life is yet to come
We’ll march on, press on, with no fear
Be mindful of our guiding rule –
Our motto: Strive and Persevere.
