The Ring Song

Whose Woods these are, I think I know.
Her love will always be with us below.
Her ring we take, of us a part,
Encircling fingers young and ‘round her heart.
I pledge to her, a ring to keep.
Like woods is lovely, dark and deep.
And I have promises and miles to go.
And I have promises and miles to go.

The bells of Saint Mary’s
I hear they are calling,
The young loves,
the true loves that come from the sea.
And so my beloved, when red leaves are falling,
the love bells shall ring out,
ring out for you and me.

Class of 1962


Alma Mater

Hail to thee, dear Alma Mater!
Praise is due thy glorious past.
Thou hast stood through years unchanging
In the cause of truth steadfast,
And thy present strength gives promise
that thy spirit long shall last
And thy present strength gives promise
That thy spirit long shall last

May every year add fame
To the glory of thy name,
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods!
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods!
Home of virtue, shrine of knowledge,
Our own beloved college!

Endless is thy inspiration,
Calling forth our loyalty.
Faithful to thy high ideals
We will always strive to be.
Words and deeds alike revealing
Wisdom we have learned from thee.
Words and deeds alike revealing,
Wisdom we have learned from thee.

Words: Gertrude Smith, SP, ’19

Our Lady of Providence

Hail to thee, O Lady of Providence
Queen and Mother, hear our prayer.
Bless us, guard us, ever keep us
In thy providential care.

Our Lady of Providence, pray for us,
Our Lady of Providence, pray for us,
Queen of the home, O pray for us.

Bless our homes, O Lady of Providence
Guide our loved ones, though they roam.
At the throne of God unite us,
Queen of Mothers, Queen of home.

Words: Rose Angela Horan, SP, ’26
