Sasse Anthem
The College Anthem.
Near the Buea Mountain
High above the sea,
Stands St. Joseph’s College
A place for you and me,
Tis here that we learn Biology
And Geometry and Chemistry.
O Sasse by the Mountain!
O Sasse by the Sea!
Time will come for the roll call,
Time for us to start!
Early in the morning
With strong and happy hearts.
I still feel the fragrance of the air,
The gardens fair and evening prayers!
O Sasse by the Mountain!
O Sasse by the Sea!
Marching in the study,
Going down to dine;
Resting in our billets
When bugle’s gone at nine.
We always remember Saturday nights,
The Sunday whites and Monday
bright!
O Sasse by the Mountain!
O Sasse by the Sea!
Sasse College Song
With St. Joseph ever near to guide us
We are safe whatever may betide us
From the storms and tempests he will guide us
In the hollow of his hand
Refrain:
In the hollow of his hand
In the hollow of his hand
We are safe whatever may betide us
In the hollow of his hand
In his arms of love he doth enfold us
Words of peace his voice divine hath told us
We are safe, for God Himself doth hold us
In the hollow of his hand
He will guard our souls and leave us never
From His love no power on earth shall sever
And we know He’ll keep us now and ever
In the hollow of his hand
The Golden Jubilee Song
“Sasse Our Alma Mater True” — by Sankie Maimo.
On the shoulders of Buea Mountain
Sasse our Alma Mater true,
Like a sphinx over-looks the sea,
Your light steadily guides us thro’,
Inspiring us even thro’s hardships
To excellence and scholarships,
For generations a fountain,
A source of hope and knowledge,
In us you enshrined a privilege,
Principles to mould our live
Hail Sasse! Lord! Bless our times
Sasse! St. Joseph’s College
Germs of our tutelage,
Are Faith, Integrity and Charity;
Now the Alumni sing with glee,
The Golden Jubilee,
Jubilee! Jubilee!
For the glory of the unborn;
Sasse guarantees confidence,
With the Gems of Providence,
We know the troubles we’ve borne,
As construction proved no easy task;
But we toiled with prudence
And with enthusiasm burning,
You groomed us in real friendship
To excellence and scholarship
Surely! We’ll now in the sun bask
And doff our hats to learning
