ALMA MATER SONG

Through the years the standard of you
Guide us to goals ever higher and true
Serving each day, guiding our way
Hail Alma Mater, our LCC.
Brightly beams in all of our dreams
Your light of service guiding our way
Though we may go far, far away
We'll ne'er forget you, Our LCC.

Hail Alma Mater, our LCC
In heart and soul t'will be our goal
To serve thee faithfully.
Children of Negros praise thee always
Hail Alma Mater,
Hail LCC!


LOYALTY SONG
A song of loyalty,
We'll try to sing to thee
To the college we love
And though it's hard to say
What's in our hearts today
We shall float our praise above
Though words cannot express
Our actions will confess
Our very best we'll give to thee
From our hearts we shall sing,
and our praise we'll give
As we honor our school today.

Refrain
O comrades valiant
For Alma Mater
Sing her praise to the skies
Her aspirations,
Her loyal standards
Be forever sung on high
We will pray everyday
For her lasting memory
We will hope that the years
Will bring constant victory
Still singing Of lofty towers,
Of lasting powers
We'll give praise fore'er to thee.
Repeat Refrain


IN GLORY UNTOLD
Hail, hail, hail Mother most pure,
Hail Virgin of Consolation
Hail Queen with the stars
Hail Queen with the stars
Above all angels in glory untold
Standing next,
standing next to the king
In a vesture of gold.
O Lady of Consolation
O Star of the Wave
O Hope of the guilty
O Light of the grave
To thee may we come
To the heavens and rest
And see heaven's king
In the courts of the blest

Hail, hail, hail Mother most pure,
Hail Virgin of Consolation,
Hail Queen with the stars
Hail Queen with the stars
Above all angels in glory untold
Standing, standing,
in a vesture of gold.


FOR CHRIST THE KING (AKA "An Army of Youth")
An Army of Youth Flying the standard of truth.
We are fighting for Christ the Lord.
Heads lifted high, Catholic Action our cry,
And the cross our only sword.
On earth's battlefield,
Never advantage we'll yield,
As dauntlessly on we sing,
Comrades true, dare and do,
'Neath the Queen's White and Blue.
For our flag, for our faith,
for Christ the King.
Christ lifts his hand,
the King commands,
His challenge, "Come and follow me"
From every side, with eager stride,
We form in the lines of victory.

Let foemen lurk, and laggards shirk
We throw our fortunes with the Lord.
Mary's Son, til the world is won,
We have pledged You our loyal word.

An Army of Youth flying the standard of truth,
We are fighting for Christ the Lord. .
