SCHOOL SONG
LATIN WORDS BY PROFESSOR RM HENRY MA DLITT MUSIC BY FH SAWYER MUSBAC FRCO MA
(Solo)
Omnes condiscipulos confidenter oro, celebrant Collegium carmine canoro; optimum pulcherrimum ludum qui habemus, hilari, laetissimo cantu celebremus
(Omnes)
Situs in monticulo callide delectus, omnibus rivalibus invide conspectus, omnibus fautoribus solitus amari, prohibet scientiae lumen occultari
(Omnes)
Floreat Ultonia; floreant Hiberni; floreat Collegium nominis aeterni
Dumque cum laboribus vitae concertamus, semper in memoria ludum habeamus senatum.
(Solo)
Confidently now I beg scholars here before us, celebrate our College with tuneful praise and chorus; best and fairest MCB honours still await thee: now with joyful mirth and song let us celebrate thee
(All)
Pile of beauty, fitly placed on a site commanding, thou, on whom thy rivals gaze envious of thy standing, whom thy sons regard with love, fealty and affiance, thou dost radiate afar culture, art and science
(All)
Let our Ulster flourish well, all the Irish flourish; flourish our most famous school which the arts doth nourish While we fight together the toils of life that claim us, let us ever keep in mind
Methody the famous.
