Alma Mater

Guilford College Alma Mater

Kindly light our founders kindled,

Midst primeval oak and pine.

Let thy radiance truth revealing,

Now upon our spirits shine.

Sacred mem'ries through the archways,

Of the swiftly passing years.

Still undim'd dear Alma Mater,

Strengthen us, dispel our fears.

So our hearts and voices joining,

Echo Guilford's ancient fame,

Hallow'd be thine each endeavor,

Hallow'd be fair Guilford's name.
