Official Young Men’s Institute Song

We are the Young Men’s Institute

For God and Country our motto is absolute

In 1883, a vision came to be

The heart and the spirit of YMI…

Let us perpetuate the good

And share the joy and the love of brotherhood

In faith and charity

We join in harmony

And sing praise to Y-M-I

(Words by Br. Marty Procaccio, PGP #84)
