Holy Cross Victory March
The Holy Cross Fight Song was derived from the fight song of the University of Notre Dame, which was also founded by priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
- "Rally, sons of Holy Cross.
- Sings her glory, victory or loss.
- Praise her gold and blue,
- and cheer with voices true.
- Rah! Rah! For Holy Cross!
- We will fight in every game
- Strong of heart and true to her name.
- We will ne'er forget her
- And we'll cheer her ever
- Loyal to Holy Cross!
- Cheer, cheer for old Holy Cross.
- Cheer her in victory, cheer her in loss.
- Send a volley cheer on high,
- Shake down the thunder from the sky.
- What though the odd be great or small,
- Old Holy Cross will win over all.
- While her loyal sons are marching
- Onward to victory."

Famous quotes containing the words holy, cross, victory and/or march:
“For my part, I would rather look toward Rutland than Jerusalem. Rutland,—modern town,—land of ruts,—trivial and worn,—not too sacred,—with no holy sepulchre, but profane green fields and dusty roads, and opportunity to live as holy a life as you can, where the sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It was mankind that hung on the cross for two thousand years: and a terrible god practiced his cruelty and called it “love.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance—that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“The enemy of the conventional wisdom is not ideas but the march of events.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
