William and Mary loved of old Hark, upon the gale, Hear the thunder of our chorus Alma Mater hail! Iron shod or golden sandaled Shall the years go by - Still our hearts shall weave about thee Love that cannot die. God, our Father, hear our voices Listen to our cry Bless the college of our fathers Let her never die. — -James Southall Wilson '02
