| The gliding years have rolled along | B |

| A welcome true for those we meet | F |

| Still let thine eye rest lovingly | Q |
| On this old college home | D |
| Sweet college home dear college home | D |
| We gladly gather here | E |
| Old friends to meet | F |
| Old faces greet | F |
| And sing our songs of cheer | G |
