O Alma Mater, Fordham, How mighty is thv power To link our hearts to thee in love Thar grows with every hour. Thy winding elms, thy hallowed halls, Thy lawns, thine ivy-mantled walls, O Fordham, Alma Mater, What memories each recalls. O Alma Mater, Fordham, How deathless is the flame By friendship's touch enkindled In the sons that love thy name. Those true and rugged hearts of gold, Whose memory our hearts shall hold, O Fordham, Alma Mater, In chains that grow not old. O Alma Mater, Fordham, While yet the life blood starts. Shrined be thy sacred image Within our heart of hearts; And in the years that arc to be, May life and love be true to me, O Fordham, Alma Mater, As I am true to thee.
