Academy, Beloved, shrine of Our Lady Dear,
Behold! We gather' round thee, we've come from far and near
To learn from thee those Truths divine,
That on us they may ever shine,
Our Lady, sweetest Mother,
Watch o'er these children thine.

Academy, Beloved, e'er faithful we will be,
Although the years before us may find us far from thee:
Far from the halls and friends so dear.
O Mother! Be thou ever near !
Academy, Beloved, our love we pledge thee love.

Academy, Beloved, the parting hour is near,
Thy blessings show'r upon us and banish doubt and fear.

Our Lady dear, may thou e'er be
With us through life's tempestuous sea.
Academy, Beloved, farewell, farewell to thee!
