[Verse 1]
Alma Mater, wise and glorious
Child of light and bride of truth
Over fate and foe victorious
Dowered with eternal Youth
Crowned with love of son and daughter
Thou shalt conquer as of yore!
Dear old Pittsburgh, Alma Mater
God preserve Thee evermore!
[Verse 2]
First beyond the mountains founded
Where the west-road opens free
When twin rivers forest bounded
Merge and journey toward the sea
In the dawning of the nation
Ere the clouds of strife had cleared
'Rose Thy rough-hewn habitation
By our prophet fathers reared
[Verse 3]
Close Thy mother-love embraces
All who gather at Thy knee
Castes and classes, creeds and races
Mother, are as one to Thee
Thou who unto knowledge bore us
In the good old days long gone
Raise Thy Gold and Blue high o'er us
Land and we will follow on
Alma Mater, wise and glorious
Child of light and bride of truth
Over fate and foe victorious
Dowered with eternal Youth
Crowned with love of son and daughter
Thou shalt conquer as of yore!
Dear old Pittsburgh, Alma Mater
God preserve Thee evermore!
