Alma Mater
Alma Mater
1.
Close beside Potomac waters
Of historic fame,
Stands our noble Alma Mater
Glorious her name.
Chorus:
Lift the chorus, speed it onward,
Loud her praises ring.
Hail to thee beloved Shepherd,
Hail, all hail, we sing.
2.
Nestled in a quiet hamlet,
Neath the azure blue,
Send she forth her sons and daughters,
Loyal, loving, true.
3.
Fondly in our memory resting,
Happy gladsome days,
Still to thee, dear Alma Mater,
Offer we our praise.
