High o'er Hudson's noble river, stand thy walls proclaiming ever
Mighty science; bold endeavor, Old Rensselaer.
To the hand that guiding, nature's laws confiding,
Taught us how both then as now, to struggle with the problem, aye, and solve it.
Alma Mater, sponsor dear, lov'd by all who gather here.
Thus we greet thee with a cheer,
All hail! Rensselaer.
Once again with gladsome faces; pride that stirs and cheer that praises.
We are met to sound thy praises, Old Rensselaer.
We, thy sons do hail thee. Ne'er a one shall fail thee.
Striving on with course strong to victors and honor still to lead thee,
Loyal hearts and willing hands, brains that answer
Thy demands, guard thy banner where it stands,
Old Rensselaer.
