cle Io SI. jolznis College. lDedica!cd lo the Class of Ninety-Sc'ucn.1 MUSIC BY ELIZABETH ELLEN STARR. We sing to thee our mother dear four mother clearb, Our hearts are warm, our voices clear four voices clearj 3 As to thy praise we sing, As to thy praise we sing. Down through the sounding aisles of time We send thy praise in tuneful rhyme, And make the old halls ring, And make the old halls ring. Farewell l old bell l go on and ring fgo on and ringj High in the lofty turret swing Cturret swing.J But not 'for us the peal- But not for us the peal. Farewell green sward and shelter trees, T'is not for us the whispering breeze Shall through your branches steal- Shall through your branches steal. Chorus.-To thee, St. John's we gladly sing, To thee we sing, we sing, we sing 5 To thee our sounding praises bring, Our praises bring, our praises bring We hail thee, love thee, bless the day That brought us 'ncath thy guardian sway, Thy guardian sway. Oft from the strife of coming year Cof coming yearl 5 Oft from the mingled hopes and fears Chopes and fearsj Our hearts will turn to thee- Our hearts will turn to thee. Thy restful paths, thy sunny slopes 3 Thy promises, youth's buoyant hopes We find in thoughts of thee- We find in thoughts of thee. 172 And strengthened by these mem'ries dear 1mem'ries dearj We forward with songs of cheer fwith songs of cheerj To thee our thanks we raise- To thee our thanks we raise. And to the guiding Hand above Which over all our lives doth move A parting song of praise- A parting song of praise.
