School Hymn
Have you heard the golden city
Mentioned in the legends old
Everlasting light shines o'er it,
Wondrous tales of it are told
Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its gleaming walls.
Wrong is banished from its borders
Justice reigns supreme o'er all.
We are builders of that city.
All our joys and all ours groans
Help to rear its shining ramparts
All our lives are building stones.
But the work that we have builded
Oft with bleeding hands and tears
And in error and in anguish
Will not perish with the years.
It will be at last made perfect,
In the universal plan
It will help to crown the labors
Of the toiling hosts of man.
It will last and shine transfigured
In the final reign of right,
It will merge into the splendor
Of the city of the light.

Founders
Rev. William Ault was born in Bromwich, Warwickshire, in the year 1778. At the age of 30. Rev. Ault was keen to assist and accompany Rev. Thomas Coke, a senior evangelist with a mission to Sri Lanka. After months of planning, on 31 December 1813 a team of missionaries including Thomas Coke, Ault, and his wife Sarah left to Sri Lanka. Unfortunately Coke and Ault’s wife Sara fell ill and died on route to Sri Lanka leaving the rest of the crew to continue the journey and implement the mission. The team had to split as they approached the shores, accordingly Rev. Jams Lynch left to Jaffna, Rev. Benjamin Clough left to Galle, Rev. George Erskine left to Matara, Rev. Martin Harvard to Colombo and Rev. William Ault assigned for Batticaloa.
Rev. Ault established eight schools including the Vincent Girls' High School. Rev. William Ault is known as the morning star of Methodism in Eastern Sri Lanka. Rev. Ault fell seriously ill in January 1815 and died three months after in April 1815. A statue of him placed next to the Batticaloa Gate to honor his valuable services.
