Lyrics

Oh, Mount Holyoke, we pay thee devotion,
In the fervor of youth that is strong,
The courage of right is thy garland,
Our lives, Alma Mater, thy song.
So from east and from west now we gather,
And united in firm love to thee,
All years are as one, and their loyal pledge
Mount Holyoke forever shall be,
Mount Holyoke forever shall be.

Thro' the heart of a new day's endeavor,
Breathes the life of the old days that live,
For what thou hast given we honor,
But we love thee for what we can give.
So when soft in a whisper thou callest,
For the treasures unlocked by the key,
Our achievement, our hopes, and our glorious faith
Shall answer, Mount Holyoke to thee,
Shall answer, Mount Holyoke to thee.
