SCHOLASTICA
1. 0 loved by God 0 purest dove who soared to blissful heights above; Look down on us today who sing your glorious praises to the king. Refrain: 0 pure and blest Scholastica, 0 pray to the Father above that we may learn to walk in truth, And ever seek the ways of love. 2. From earthly joys you turned away to tread your holy brother sway And happiness without alloy you found in serving God with joy! 3. You learned to know love's mighty sway When Benedict declined to stay To talk of heaven through the night Your spouse refused not this delight. 4. And when life's winter passed away above the clouds you winged your way and there with all the saints you sing The joy of love's eternal spring.

Come loyal Benedictine children O come let us sing Our voices raise with youthful hearts, With youthful hearts aflame. In praise of St. Scholastica Let these walls ring in accents bright Let these halls ring in accents bright Bring out her glory and her name, O' glorious St. Scholastica, O dove who flew to heaven on wings of love! Strengthen our wings, as we go on our way. Watch oer our flight for we are prone to stray, We stand here and salute thee, Alma Mater, Alma Mater We carry forth your vision and your aims, Your noble aims No matter where we roam your spirit ever Alive within our hearts your name proclaims.
