Mercy, Wisdom
St Mary's we are.
Life, love and compassion
Together we do stand
with devotion and conviction
Strong our traditions last
Our Blessed Mother guides our hearts
So that we remember to share God's love
Mercy is not bleak
Here it protects
Where warmth of friendships grow.
Mercy Wisdom
St Mary's we are.....
We stand and always praise Thy name
To heaven lend our hearts and hands.
Wisdom from within,
Pride and loyalty
As one eternally.
Mercy, Wisdom
St Mary's we are....
