NATIONAL ANTHEM Words by Francis Scott Key
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
ALMA MATER For the community of Saint Mary’s University past, present, and future Words and music by Patrick M. O’Shea, D.M.A. arr. by A. Eric Heukeshoven, M.S.
Hail, Saint Mary’s, Alma Mater! Hail Saint Mary’s, Mother true,
Every faithful son and daughter lifts this anthem now to you:
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Hail, Saint Mary’s, fount of wisdom, Nurturer of heart and mind,
Strengthen us in thought and spirit, That in seeking we may find.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Hail, Saint Mary’s, shining beacon, Of La Salle’s community,
Send us out forever teaching, Love and faith and unity.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
