ALMA MATER
We love you, St. Cecilia, Love your sweet simplicity. We love you, St. Cecilia, And to you we pledge our loyalty. We’ll take your teachings with us
To guide us on our way; And remember, St. Cecilia, You’ll be in our hearts always.
In sunshine or in shadow, Though our skies be grey or gold, We’ll bless you, ne’er forget you,
And for you our hearts will ne’er grow cold. In our thoughts your name will linger; In our dreams we’ll long for you.
For we love you, St. Cecilia, And to you we’ll e’er be true.
