St. Anselm's Dear - A Jubillee Song

THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN WHEN OUR SCHOOL COMPLETED 50 YEARS OF UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE (1955-1956)

Let the halls resound with song,

And the echo linger long:
Sing young and old, in accents bold
Your hearts Jubilee.


Break forth in chorus gay
The Alma Mater's lay;
Yet higher,loud and clear
Lift your voices free.


"Fair unto God
And fair alike to man"
Thy cause writ high
Does lead thee on,
as years fleet by,
Sure God shall crown

Thy battles' bright renown,
Thy sons shall tell
The fame of her that wrought them well.


Home of my joys, tender thoughts awake,
When my happy school days in dreams I gaze;
And as laughter clear, I seem to hear,
Fond prayers arise for St. Anselm's dear.


Pure flow thy streams,
Where mirth and virtue gleams,
Quenching minds athirst,
Strengthening weak at first,
Our hearts we raise,
To sing thy praise,
God bless thee ever
St. Anselm's dear.
