The Chanel College Song

Like a Bird of the Air

Deep in your heart, you heard the call,

St Peter Chanel, you gave your all,

To a call that would carry your heart away

In the Spirit of Christ your future lay.

Your mission would take you across the sea

To care for the sick and set hearts free

The Ocean of Peace, she carried you there

Your work was hard, with Christ you cared

Called to be like a bird of the air

Carrying the Good News everywhere

Spread your wings across the ocean far

And people will see how like Christ you are

Like Christ you died and they thought you’d gone

Your spirit it rose, God’s work went on

A mission just started and so much to do

God’s work you seeded and now it grew

At Chanel College we hear God’s call

And carry your mission of peace to all

And join in Christ’s Spirit for all to see

And live in His love and set hearts free

Called to be like a bird of the air

Carrying the Good News everywhere

Spread your wings across the ocean far

And people will see how like Christ you are.
