Anthem

Ring out the battle call of duty!
Unfurl the flag of faith and Toil!
We deem our soul’s eternal beauty.
A life-long Victor’s worthy spoil.
A thousand such as proudly gone before us
To win and spread our College renown:
tis ours to swell with our voices the chorus
And with our deeds enrich her crown.

Chorus

Faith and Toil ! conquerless alliance
Wherein we clasp human hands unto God’s!
In his control, find we true self-reliances;
My hand and God’s — what`er the odds
My hand and God’s — what`er the odds
My hand and God’s
Evil’s onset hold in defiance!
