Amare et Servire (School Hymn)
Music and Lyrics by Fr. Manoling Francisco, SJ

 

Borne of Ignatian vision

Of bringing Christ to Orient Lands

Armed with Santa Maria’s faith in God

To sail where the Spirit commands


II

From the Middle Kingdom’s ancient shore

To the Orient Pearl’s City of Love

Sons of Ignacio set ablaze

Our heart’s desire for God alone

 

Refrain

In omnibus amare,

in omnibus servire

In omnibus amare et servire Domino

In everything, love and serve the Lord


III

As the setting sun bids farewell

In our hearts shall ever dwell

The animo of Ateneo

And Santa Maria’s blue and white
 

Refrain (2x)

Coda: In everything, love and serve the Lord
