College Songs College Song Words and music by Mrs. A. K. Moore, nee Miss Blanche Dawson. Class TO To our dear old Alma Maler we will sing a song of praise. All our hearts are filled with loyalty and love; For to her belongs all praise and honor That our tongues can frame, And for her we raise our hearts in praise above. Through the shade and through the sunshine She has stood, our college home. May she stand for countless ages yet to be; Ah. our hearts beat high with pride and rapture For the home we love. As we s,ng a song for dear old G. C. Chorus Dear G. C. thy name is thrilling In the air. Dear G. C. my own dear college home so fair. Bright dreams of young life ' s golden spring Around thy walls forever cling. As years advance and life puts on an aspect more severe, With faith in G. C. old and ever new. Whose precepts and whose dignity We look to and revere, success and fame Shall crown our efforts true. Tne high ideals and truth That she has taught us to regard Illumination to our way shall be. In memry dear we ' ll hold her through The long, long years to come, Our faithful Alma Mater, dear G. C. Alma Mater Words by L. B. Hurley. Music by B. S. Bates Thou who gave us dreams unnumbered Thou whose fame shall live forever. Thou who gave us life unknown, Noblest champion of the truth. Thou who waked us as we slumbered, Naught from thee our hearts can seve Took us wholly as thine own; Guide and guardian of our youth. TTiou who gave us cherished memories. Still the harmony is ringing Friendship ' s fire to bless each day, Over valley, hill and plain. Claimed us as thine own dear children. Loyal children still are singing. To thee our debt we thus would pay. Singing forth the glad refrain. Chorum Fairest, fairest Alma Marer, Long our song shall rise to thee, As we pledge our deep devotion. Thy name shall ring from sea to sea. (12)
