College Song

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, confugimus

Sancta Dei Genetrix, Sancta Dei, Genetrix,

Nostras deprecationes ne despicias, ne despicias

In necessitatibus nostris,

Sed a periculis cunctis

Libera nos semper,

Virgo gloriosa et benedicta

Translation:

We fly to thy protection,

O Holy Mother of God;

Do not despise our petitions

in our necessities,

but deliver us always

from all dangers,

O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.

Lyrics adapted from the John Therry Catholic College and motto which itself is based on a Marist prayer.

Lord God, instruct our hearts
to be truly wise and to know your love
Recta Sapere, Recta Sapere

Recta Sapere to be truly wise
And to know and relish what's right and just
By the light of the Holy Spirit

Lord God, instruct our hearts to be truly just and to love like you
Recta Sapere, Recta Sapere

Recta Sapere to be truly wise
And to know and relish what's right and just
By the light of the Holy Spirit

Instruct our hearts
Instruct our hearts
Instruct our hearts
Instruct our hearts
