Hail, Alma Mater, dear! To us be ever near, Help us thy motto bear, thru’ all the years. Let Duty be well performed, Honor be e’er untarn’d Country be ever armed, West Point, by thee!

Guide us, thine own, 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, West Point, to thee!

And when our work is done, Our course on earth is run, May it be said, “Well done. Be thou at peace.” E’er may that line of gray Increase from day to day; Live, serve, and die, we pray, West Point for thee!
