This anthem was developed by two teachers of the then Buxton Congregational (Missionary) School—Teacher George Younge and Ms. Jacobs. It is sung at the beginning of every public event organized by Buxtonians at home and abroad. It inspires pride, passion and personal dedication to the preservation and protection of our Heritage.
Thou wilt not cower in the dust
Buxton my own native land,
Thy glorious name shall never rust,
Oh Buxton my own native land.
Remember Fredericks, yes we must,
The Buxton Scholarship his thrust.
And now he slumbers in the dust,
In Buxton my own native land.
And now may every girl and boy,
In Buxton my own native land,
His heart and brain all day employed,
In Buxton my own native land.
To add to our illustrious line
Of sons and daughters who all time,
Give of their best that you may shine
For Buxton my own native land.
