For the glory of old State
For her founders strong and great
For the future that we wait
Raise the song, raise the song.
Sing our love and loyalty
Sing our hopes that bright and free
Rest, oh mother dear, with thee
All with thee, all with thee.
When we stood at childhood's gate
Shapeless in the hands of fate
Thou didst mold us, dear old State
Dear old State, dear old State.
May no act of ours bring shame
To one heart that loves thy name
May our lives but swell thy fame
Dear old State, dear old State.
