Saint Augustine's Alma Mater

ALMA MATER

One

God of every Nation,
Every Race and Creed,
Lord of every creature
Every budding seed,
Friend of every right and
Foe of every wrong;
Father, son, Great Spirit,
Listen to our song.

We acknowledge, worship,
Love and e’er adore Thee,
Father, Son, Great Spirit,
Holy Trinity.

Four

Ye alumni loyal who have passed and gone,
Of your Christian lives this day for us was born.
Grant, O God, that we may live as worthily,
Passing onward greater opportunity
So with thankful hearts, we worship and adore Thee
Father, Son, Great Spirit,
Holy Trinity.

The BLUE and WHITE

The dark hue of the violet
The snow white lily's bloom
Are emblems of the virtues rare;
That seal all failures's doom;
That giv us courage ever
To dare to do the right:
For Alma Mater dear they stand,
All hail the Blue and White.

O sing a song of love and praise
From loyal hearts and pure,
For her our Alma Mater dear
And for her ideals true;
For over a hundred years she's triumphed,
As upward in her flight
She's climbed to a beacon light-
Passing onward greater opportunity
Her banner Blue and White.
