Sicut Miles Christi
Sicut Miles Christi I stand tall
Sicut Miles Christi I give my all
To a Man who deprived the devil of his will
To a Man who tumbled Jericho's hill
I'm a soldier in the army of my Lord
Equipped with the Spirit’s sword
A battle I’m called to fight
For the glory of His light
Sicut Miles Christi I’m never alone
Sicut Miles Christi I build on this stone
A soldier always in a battle ready mode
Designed to break and decipher the devil’s code
Yes! I've prevailed in the battle fray
His blood brought victory today
On Calvary Cross I fix my eyes
So I can attain the promised prize
Sicut Miles Christi I'll fight to the end
Stand steadfast my faithful friend
Fill my heart with bravery oh my Master
With unflinching faith exuding like a blazer
Sicut Miles Christi what should we fear?
When the Lord has conquered with His spear
As a Soldier of Christ be vigilant in thy task
A selfless sacrifice the Master dare to ask
“Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” 2Timothy 2:3
Footnote: Sicut Miles Christi (A Latin phrase, it's Literal Translation is: “As a Soldier of Christ”) is the motor of my Alma Mater Bishop Herman College. It was established on 28 February 1952. It was the first secondary school established by the Catholic Church in the Region.The College was named after a French Catholic Bishop , Auguste Herman. Bishop Herman had impacted me more than any school. In fact I am proud of my alma mater.
