[edit] Alma mater
Alma Mater, good and true, the pride of church and city, We pledge our all to God and you, under Mary's mantle blue, Our faith is anchored here, with love that, will light your years, Staunch hearts will ever sing in praise of you....
(Chorus) Hail to you Little Flower hail, Pride of all our love will not fail, Guide us and keep us safe through the years, Bring us your children brave through all fears. Onward we will march foursquare, Vanguard of truth to do and to dare, We to you our pledge renew, Fore'r we'll be true!
Little Flower we glory to see Your colors gleam in the sunlight, Maroon for love and loyalty, Snowy White for purity. Proud we your banner fling, EXULTANT your praises sing, We march on strong with trust in God above...
(Chorus) Hail to you Little Flower hail, Pride of all our love will not fail, Guide us and keep us safe through the years, Bring us your children brave through all fears. Onward we will march foursquare, Vanguard of truth to do and to dare, We to you our pledge renew, Fore'r we'll be true! WE WILL BE TRUE!!!!!!
