Alma Mater

The hours too quickly slip away
And mingle into years,
But memories of our Scranton days will last
Whatever next appears.
The legacy from those before
Is briefly ours to hold,
We leave the best behind for others
As the coming years unfold.

With faith in lives that touch us here
And paths that ours have crossed,
We know that reaching for the rising sun
Is surely worth the cost.
May God be ever at our side,
May goodness fill our days,
We hail as loving sons and daughters
Alma Mater ours always.
