Westpoint Cadet Glee Club – Alma Mater 1958 lyrics

ALMA MATER (1958)

HAIL ALMA MATER DEAR
TO US BE EVER NEAR
HELP US THY MOTTO BEAR
THROUGH ALL THE YEARS
LET DUTY BE WELL PERFORMED
HONOR BE E'ER UNTARNED
COUNTRY BE EVER ARMED
WEST POINT BY THEE

GUIDE US THY SONS ARIGHT
TEACH US BY DAY BY NIGHT
TO KEEP THINE HONOR BRIGHT
FOR THEE TO FIGHT
WHEN WE DEPART FROM THEE
SERVING ON LAND OR SEA
MAY WE STILL LOYAL BE
WEST POINT TO THEE

AND WHEN OUR WORK IS DONE
OUR COURSE ON EARTH IS RUN
MAY IT BE SAID WELL DONE
BE THOU AT PEACE
E'ER MAY THAT LINE OF GRAY
INCREASE FROM DAY TO DAY
LIVE, SERVE, AND DIE WE PRAY
WEST POINT FOR THEE
