XAVIER, ALMA MATER
You have taught us to pay the price
To be men for God and Country,
To prepare for sacrifice.
May we learn to love,
may we learn to serve,
And as Christ may we always give
Our hands in help, our hearts in love,
And our lives that other men might live.

XAVIER, ALMA MATER
You have taught us to worship with pride
Our Savior’s life and suffering
And the cross on which He died;
Not to fear the nails,
not to heed the wounds,
But to love through
The thorn and pain,
Keep our faith alive in
the face of death,
That the world may see our
Savior’s reign.
