ALMA MATER
O Alma Mater, see thy children throng
To utter forth thy praise in joyful song!IWe gather here
This glad mid-year
From all the wide Southwestern plains-
From leagues of prairies rolling far;
From farmlands where our riches are
In blooming cotton and growing grains;
From fields where wealth of gas and oil,
Stored deep beneath our fertile soil,
Gush forth that darkness may be light,
And winter may with warmth be bright;
From ocean side
Where ships of commerce ride-
From all the breadth of our broad land
We gather here at thy command,
O Alma Mater!
Behold thy children how they stand!
Here gathered in a joyful throng!
To utter forth thy praise in song,
And sing the praises which to thee belong!
Thou standest crowned upon a hill,
The prairies round thee like a sea,
And thou like these unchanging art,
And thou like these are broad and free!
The years shall surely make thee glad,
With noble sons and daughters wise-
Thou shalt become a name to love
Beneath the wide Southwestern skies.For in thy face
Behold, we trace
Compassion for all humankind--
Deep pity for the poor and weak
High honor for the pure and meek,
True sorrow for the deaf and blind,
All joy in innocencedand youth,
And reverence for light and truth,
Unfailing zeal for just and right,
And wisdom like the morning light!
Yea, every heart
Rests its firm faith on what thou art,
And, looking down the distant years
We banish fears and banish tears,
0 Alma Mater,
Lend to our voice thy listening ears-
Behold thy children, how they throng
To utter forth thy praise in song.
To sing the praises which to thee belong!
Thou seest the pageant of the years
Unveiled before thy distant gaze
The harvest of the rolling sun
And reapings of the distant days.
And thou with wisdom of old
And vision of the ever new
Shalt usher in the gladder age
And guide us to the good and true.Southern Methodist
