Santa Clara University

Santa Clara, Alma Mater.
Lo! Our Hearts are Pledged to Thee,
El Dorado's First Born Daughter,
Who Beside the Western Sea
Where the Palm and Olive Mingle
Bade the Torch of Science Burn
When Our Footsteps Bear Us From Thee
Back to Thee Our Hearts Will Turn.
This the Mission Bells are Telling
As Exultingly They Ring
“Santa Clara, Santa Clara Alma Mater”
Sweet They Sing.
Where the Palm and Olive Mingle
Proudly Raise Their Heads on High.
In the Earliest Fane of Science,
Built Beneath Our Western Sky.
