Alma Mater's Call

Been thinking of the school rally from just now. And how I first learn it from the back of the exercise book with a brown cover; complete with musical notations too. And today, we sang it for the last time with the Brother Director, Rev Bro Paul Ho.

So Saints / Xaverians and La Sallians all over, sing it out loud and with pride.

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,

Labour will conquer your motto still bearing,
Forward with courage in ways that are just,
True to your standard, be doing and daring,
As faithful Xaverians in Heaven your trust
