Lyrics
Description
fifty years have swiftly flown,
from youthful days to seeds we've sown.
guided by faith, in halls of grace,
we found our path, our sacred place.
golden years, our voices raise,
in grateful song, in heartfelt praise.
del pilarians, forever true,
we honor god in all we do.
through lessons taught and friendships made,
in every challenge, unafraid.
with ignatian fire, our spirits burned,
a love for learning, deeply earned.
golden years, our voices raise,
in grateful song, in heartfelt praise.
del pilarians, forever true,
we honor god in all we do.
men and women for others, we stand,
serving with open heart and hand.
in every soul, his light we see,
living out our legacy.
ora et labora, our battlecry
we humbly learn from thee
in campus and in society
del pilar, we care so much
