The College Song

The zest of a young mind
Speaks of aspirations
Dreams to realize and cheer
Look nowhere, the future begins here!

St. Mary’s is the place where
We walk with heads held high
We march ahead in His name
For we know, our future begins here!

Sanctified in faithful restoration
Stands our glorious institution
Our dreams and goals seem so near
Now we know, our future begins here!

O gracious Master
We trust in Thee alone
We’re grateful for all that You give
Oh! It’s for sure, our future begins here!

Our future’s in Your caring hands
The lives we want to live
We know You’re always near
St. Mary’s you’re so dear, our future begins here!
Our future begins here! Our future begins here!
