Amidst God’s Holy presence
Before the open heavens
We vouch our utmost self-giving
To God’s glory and man’s salvation
For our chaplaincy blessed growth
Yes arise for surely we can
O great Holy St. Augustine
Defender of our truth and faith
You proclaimed God with mind so sublime
And built a community that withstood time
May we like you devote ourselves
To serve our brethren heartily
And live with God for ever happily
As one big joyful family
With the priests and faithful religious
Winning souls for no worldly gain
May love, peace and unity reign
Let’s arise for if we truly will
By God’s grace we surly can
When friends and the world fail us
He will pick us up and lead the way
When darkness seem to separate us
His divine light shall always stay
Oh arise, for if we truly will
By God grace we surly can
May God the Father bless our work
And the Son our lives redeem
That our efforts be made holy
By the Holy Spirit’s curing fire
Then we’ll arise, for we truly can
Yes, by God’s grace we surely can
