College of love and charityWe gather 'round thy noble shrine;We lift our voice in praise to thee,And ask a blessing all divine

ChorusFAM-U! FAM-U! I love theeI'll fight and win what'er the battle beThe Orange and the Green thy Sons shall e'er defendAnd loyal to thy voice of love attendFAM-U! FAM-U! FAM-U! I love thee!

On gridiron, diamond, track and field,Thy sons the vict'ry never yield,-And while they tread a broader lifeThy love shall stay them in the strife.

(repeat chorus)God ever keep us true to thee;Thy faith that truth shall make men free.Shall guide thy loyal sons arightAnd fend them thru' the skeptic night.
