With hearts and minds attuned to praise, your standards wrought in faith, Nobility, love, and courage, too- the guiding spirit of our youth, Your high ideals that never swerve, your work so nobly planned, The friendships formed ’neath the gold and blue will unite us, Notre Dame.
Your labors blessed by the Almighty Hand of the loving Architect Are as a symbol of noble life where love and sanctity gleam bright. O Seat of Wisdom, Mother mild, we place our hope in you. Undying loyalty we pledge, O beloved Notre Dame.
“Teach them what they need to know for life.”
St. Julie Billiart
