Once more, time-honoured halls,
Resound with youthful song;
And tell us by your ringing walls
That you and we belong!
O dearest school, to thee our youth
We do entrust to learn the truth
That VIRTUE IS OUR STRONGEST SHIELD
And we will never, yield!
CHORUS
O teach us all the noble truth,
That VIRTUE IS OUR STRONGEST SHIELD
And we will never, and we will never
And we will never, never yield.
Though Time will drive his blade
Across our dearest game,
Our love for you will never fade,
But burn with fiercer flame!
And if our love be poor,
Dear Cradle of our lives,
As long as you, our School endure,
So long this love survives!
I. Hoyle, S.J.
