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.
