To the tune of Ar Hyd Y Nos (Old Welsh Air)
Dedicated to the Class of '89
Thou hast sent us forth to labor, Old Rensselaer.
We have wrought to win thy favor year after year.
Steel to weld and stone to shiver,
Sink the mine and span the river,
For thine honor tolling ever, Old Rensselaer.
When thy sons are met together from far and near,
Scarred with service, worn with weather, Old Rensselaer.
Proud they lay their deeds before thee,
Done to show the love they bore thee,
Stronger grown as years pass o'er thee, Old Rensselaer.
When they write our nation's story, splendid and clear,
Surely great shall by thy glory, Old Rensselaer.
In their works thy sons enshrined thee,
Mighty works to leave behind thee,
Mother land, let these remind thee, of Old Rensselaer.
