School Song

First stanza

Come you loyal son Josephian,

sing your Alma Mater's praise.

Let our youthful voices proudly sing

with the love of her kindly way.

Refrain

When the road of life is rough up hill

and the skies hang grey and grim;

then our steps will be light,

and our eyes shining bright

like true sons of S J A C S.

Second stanza

Though the days of boyhood speed away,

never to return again;

Though this day will be the morrow's past,

yet are we tomorrow's men.

Refrain

Third stanza

Dear St. Joseph be our lasting guide,

Be our strength through the years ahead.

On heart and mind, on home and friend,

your gracious influence shed.

Refrain

Fourth stanza

Come you loyal old Josephians,

sound your Alma Mater's praise.

With grateful voices now let's sing

the cherished joys of former days.

Refrain
