I
Rise, oh holy mother
may you hear are prayers
that we plea to you
the most safest of journeys
for our cause is just....
to spread your wisdom
to the youth, so that they also
shall gain the nourishment that
will help them throughout their journey
that you and I call life
II
Rise, oh holy mother
Through sickness and though health
we shall heed your words
that forever encourage us
and by your tongue
these holy scriptures that others scrutinize
we shall hold fourth their message
even though the message is questioned
the faith shall forever be praised
III
Rise, oh holy mother
that when the days
of joyous youth and gay pride
have turned to into humble senility
I, your loyal subject
may only ask....
that when it is my time,
let it be by the means of peace
and let it be that your message
may not go in vain...
Oh holy mother, Alma mater
