The Alma Mater

We sing to Lycoming with clarion voice of praise.
Our proud past we cherish, while forward is our gaze.
The blue of honor, gold of valor, born of sky and sun.
We blaze a trail of light through our valley,
Holding a torch of flame for our Alma Mater,
Illustrious be her name.
With faithful devotion, we pledge our consecration.

A Chieftain of old, standing sentinel in the sun.
Old Main guards the memory of battles lost and won,
Of our incantation, dedications, praising our warriors bold.
Abidingly true, old friendships and new find worth
In the bonds of Lycoming; long may her sachem
Proclaim her noble birth
With high exultation, we chant to her creation.
