The Xaverian Anthem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VMUSeMFAss

1-All through our College a voice is resounding,
promptly respond to your duty’s sweet call.
Hearken you all for the trumpet is sounding.
Your Mater’s proclaiming her watchwords to all.

(Chorus)

Forward her children dear, ever with hearts sincere,             
render with joy to your mater her due.
All that is vile reject, Heaven will e’er protect,                                   
Sons of St Xavier’s valiant and true!

2-Towards Truth and Charity motto still bearing,
forward with courage in ways that are just.
True to your standard, be doing and daring,                                     
as faithful Xaverians in Heaven you trust

3-Onward upward in life’s earnest battle,
joyously bearing the brunt of the fight.
Nobly forgiving for august that may pain you,
and bravely defending the cause of the right,

4-Life up your hearts for a kingdom awaits you,
honoured virtue with courage defend.
Serve Him in life who in death can reward you,
and vow to be faithful and true to the end.

Introduced during Bro.Alexander Basil’s era 1929
