Saint Thomas More Alma Mater

Words by Rev John W Simmons • Music by Rev Martin G Smith   

To spread Alma Mater‘s glory, to grant her a meed of praise 

To share her illustrious story, our voices and pride we raise. 

Out of a sable night there came, a green and golden blaze. 

Among the stars, it swept to fame, and captured every gaze. 

A golden name this new star bore, a noble name and high, 

The golden words "Saint Thomas More" were spun across the sky. 

We hail thee, we hail thee, green dream of gold desire! 

We hail thy rising, starry fire that mounts on golden wheel, 

Achieving what our hearts desire — our green and gold ideal. 

May we, Saint Thomas More, pursue thy golden march anew; 

May we thy vict'ry flame renew, and conquer heaven, too.
