1 Higher and higher will we climb
Up the mount of glory,
That our names may live through time,
In our country's story
Happy, when her welfare calls
He who conquers, he who falls.
2. Deeper deeper let us toil
In the minds of knowledge;
Nature's wealth and learning's spoil.,
Win from school and college.
Delve we there for richer gems,
Than the stars of diadems.
3. Onward, onward may we press,
Through the path of duty
Virtue is true happiness,
Excellence true beauty,
Minds are of celestial birth
Make we then a heaven of earth.
4. Closer, closer let us knit,
Hearts and hands together,
Where our friends comforts sit,
In the wildest weather;
O, they wander wide, who roam
For the joys of life, from home.
