Alma Mater by Bassett Hough
Through the long years a beacon light
O Alma Mater dear!
thy sons and daughters have been led
By thee in paths made clear;
And life grows more beautiful
And darkness with its Pall
At thy behest
Is light upon our way.
All the years we have spent with thee
Are years we'll ne'er forget;
Our hearts are full of memories
Of happy days.
Alma Mata! Alma Mater! Alma Mata!
Forevermore we sing thy praise.
We rejoice in the faithful ones
Who labored for thy fame.
Their many years of toil and care
Were given in thy name,
Our hearts burn with gratitude
For those who went before;
Their spirit lives
With us forevermore.
We adore thee, we honor thee,
We pledge our love anew;
We keep aglow the memories
Of happy days.
Alma Mater! Alma Mater! Alma Mater!
Forevermore we sing they praise.
