ALMA MATER
An alma mater is the anthem of a school, college
or university. Mount Saint Mary’s alma mater
was written by our third president, Mother Marie
de Lourdes Le May, CSJ (1943-1949).
Oh Alma Mater. We Love You
Oh, blessed Mount and sing your praises
never ceasing.
For on your heights above the ocean’s billows
Stands Mount Saint Mary’s calling
We greet you, oh beloved Mount,
So, near the stars above the city
In vistas ever new from cloud flecked sky,
You bid us welcome home, welcome home.
Your chapel, your cloisters wide
Where we have walked in wisdom’s path.
Your truth we’ll cherish all our days.
Oh, Alma Mater.
