Benedictine University Poem

From Alma Mater Vol. 1: The Midwest. Available Now!

There is an Almighty power in the communal voice,
A Golden Light from the most ultimate source,
Through the Savior of man—our lives rejoice,
A song of salvation to cleanse our remorse.
In Benedictine, Red & White Eagles have crossed
To learn today and transform tomorrow,
In Lisle, the lighted vision will never be lost,
It is a shed that is shared, yet always borrowed.
From inspirations found in St. Procopius Abbey,
Lake St. Benedict, the Neff Welcome Center,
It is found in the Medal, the Cross, the Grass Prairie,
God is in our hearts, and He sings from the center.
Yes, through the light we can witness and sing:
That God’s glory can be found in all things.
