Our cherished Alma Mater, We're proud to belong to you,
With hearts staunch and true, We'll dare and we'll do for God and Country too.
Your patron holds the beacon that guides our footsteps here.

Let Mercy's shield protect us, Upon life's stormy way.
May Mary's hand direct us unto a glorious day.
Your colors bold, the brown and gold, Inspire to loyalty.
