o sing, my soul, St. Catherine's praises, Who for Christ did live and die! The students' saint our church proclaims her And exalts her name on high.

Dear St. Catherine, guide our college, Bless our girls where e'er they roam; St. Seraphic, hear our pleading, Watch our ways, and guard our home.

In lands where Fame's undying flow'rs Were worn by poet and by sage, She came endowed with rarest pow'rs, The saint and scholar of her age.
