[edit] Alma Mater and Fight Song

O Savior, bless our Lutheran High
Look down on her with watchful eye.
O make her strong, increase her fame
That all may glorify Thy name.
And may her sons and daughters ever be
Loyal to her and faithful unto Thee.
O hear us as to Thee we cry
Savior, bless our Lutheran High!

Fight Song

Stand up and give a cheer for Lutheran
Louder, louder yet, so no one will forget.
That once the Longhorns take the lead,
There is simply nothing that can stop
The Red and White Stampede.
And with a charge that sounds like thunder,
They will let the whole world see,
The kind of Go, the kind of Fight, that's sure to Lead
The Red and White to Victory!
