Alma Mater, hearts and voices sing to thee our everlasting praise; Each and every heart rejoices at the thought of happy days. Pace, Oh Pace, we’ll ne’er forget you, nor the we hold so dear; Memories will linger ever and will brighten coming years.

Alma Mater, stand forever, love is strong as we go marching by; So to thee, we raise our voices with your standard held on high. Pace, Oh Pace, we’ll ever follow where thy beacons show the way; True to thee we’ll be forever as we labor day by day.
