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:
“The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face!
Clouds of the west—sun there half an hour
high—I see you also face to face.
Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me!
On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning
home, are more curious to me than you suppose,
And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“One point in my public life: I did all I could for the reform of the civil service, for the building up of the South, for a sound currency, etc., etc., but I never forgot my party.... I knew that all good measures would suffer if my Administration was followed by the defeat of my party. Result, a great victory in 1880. Executive and legislature both completely Republican.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“After the brief bivouac of Sunday,
their eyes, in the forced march of Monday to Saturday,
hoist the white flag, flutter in the snow storm of paper,”
—Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
