Alma Mater

Come cheer Alma Mater, with song and with laughter
And fling abroad her colors Red and White
O'er hill, dale and valley,
Now bid the echoes rally
And sing aloud the praises of Albright

Hail! Hail! The Red and the White
Hail Alma Mater with a cheer
With eyes bright and glancing,
The Red and White advancing,
We'll sing the praise of Alma Mater dear

Hail! Hail! The Red and the White
Hail Alma Mater with a cheer
With eyes bright and glancing,
The Red and White advancing,
We'll sing the praise of Alma Mater dear

Old College Home

Old college home, old college home
The years may burn our hearts like flame;
For truth and right and old Albright
Thy sons and daughters we'll remain.

Under the Red, under the White
The hearts of youth will fondly cling,
And memories tendrils will enfold
Our Alma Mater as we sing.

Old college home, old college home
The years may burn our hearts like flame;
For truth and right and old Albright

Thy sons and daughters we'll remain

At the Foot of Old Mount Penn ( John F. McKenna '50 )

At the Foot of Old Mount Penn
In the roaring Lion's Den
Gather students, teachers,
graduates this day
Here to honor and recall
As we gaze at hallowed hall
We remember and it reverence homage pay

Hold high her banners shout hoorah!
Veritas Justitia
Ever forward shall our Alma Mater go;
Show your colors Red and White,
Shout your rally for Albright
Shout Albright!

Albright Alma Mater Song

Sons of Albright

Sons of Albright, raise your voices
Sing the praises of her virtues
Stand behind her guided courses,
Loyal to the end.

Staunchly try to aid her.
Zealously defend her.
Fight with all your might to do the right
For dear old Alma Mater Albright

Put your should to the wheel
And give to her your noblest efforts
Sons of Albright, raise your voices
Loyal to the end

Down the Field

Down the field, down the field
Albright's colors never yield
For our team is the best on the field.

Win or lose, hear us shout,
Get that ball and rout them out,
For our team is the best on the field.

Then a hip hooray!
For we must win today.
Shout out your colors loud and strong
RED! WHITE!

For where're you go,
You will always know
That our team is the best on the field.

Song for Albright

In the shadow of Mount Penn
Where the Tulpehocken meets the Schuylkill
Where one's vision lifts to heights of soaring birds

There's a place which for a time we can call home
Where friends meet, to learn and grow together
To find ourselves before we journey on

Hail to thee, oh Alma Mater
Place of friendship, memories, hopes and dreams
May we love, may we serve the world which lies before us now
In that truth which sets all people free
Albright College Alma Mater
Albright College, hail to thee

In the shelter of Penn's woods
Pious farmers spoke mixed dialects of peace
Explored new paths for Church and State and school

Albright raised a thoughtful emblem of its quest
Revered the past, reach out unto tomorrow
Join hands that faith and truth might justice build

Hail to thee, oh Alma Mater
Place of friendship, memories, hopes and dreams
May we love, may we serve the world which lies before us now
In that truth which makes all people free
Albright College Alma Mater
Albright College, hail to thee

Onward Albright

Join our song O sounding mountain,
Deep your notes and true;
Towering elms and crystal fountain,
Blow your trumpets too.

Thousands hail Thee, Alma Mater,
Friends of eager youth;
Pure thy springs of living water,
Building life in truth.

Rolling vale and winding river,
Surging human throng;
Alma Mater faithful giver,
Calls the good and strong.

Onward Albright onward ever,
Ride the wave, the gale;
Forging ties which ne'er shall sever,
Alma Mater, Hail!

Fight Song

Fight to win for Albright,
Knock them in for Albright,
And bring us the victory.

Wake another score, boys,
Wipe them in their gore, boys,
For Albright and victory.

Onward, onward, battle with the foe,
Forward, forward, the Red and White must go,

Fight to win for Albright,
Knock them in for Albright,
You must win the victory. FIGHT!
