ALMA MATER : . 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 untamed, 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.
