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."

“We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
To teach belief in good and still devotion,
To preach of heaven’s wonders and delights—
Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
