Uit die deurbraak tot oorwinning
na die stryd van ons verlede
spreek nog steeds 'n boodskap
helder
as 'n wekroep in die hede:
Kies vir jou 'n hoë strewe
volhard daarin tot jy oorwin,
rig daarop jou doel en lewe
stap daarmee jou toekoms in.
Kom nou saam John Vorster Hoër
suiwer is ons ideaal.
Vir ons skool en deur die lewe
kan ons saam die
hoogtes haal.
Ons weet wat ons wil en
ons slaag daarin;
Ons sal so volhard,
volhard en oorwin.
