Sung at many University events, St. Mary's alma mater brings to mind hope and pride in the University colors, gold and blue. "The Bells of St. Mary's" is also used to mark important campus events (Baccalaureate Mass, Commencement, Homecoming Mass). Whether being sung before a game in Bill Greehey Arena or at some other campus event, tradition calls us to point toward the Barrett Memorial Bell Tower.
"The Bells of St. Mary's" Lyrics
The Bells of St. Mary's
Ah! Hear they are ringing
They sing out the bright hope
Of hearts firm and true
And while they are ringing
Our young hearts are singing
The praises of, the glory of
The Gold and Blue
