Ten Thousand Strong - Oberlin College

Ten Thousand Strong

Ten thousand strong sing we a song.
Oberlin, to thee;
Oh, worthy art thou of fame!
In lands afar shineth thy star
Setting bondmen free;
Belovd is thy glorious name,
Belovd is thy glorious name.
Alma Mater, Alma Mater,
Hail to thee, Oberlin, honored Mother!

CHORUS

Old Oberlin forever
Our Alma Mater dear,
We crown thee fairest college,
Thy name we love to hear,
Long reign in royal splendor,
Our hearts shall be thy throne!
Old Oberlin, brave Mother,
Thou reignest alone.

Yon ivied walls forming thy halls,
Beautiful to see,
Are lovd over many a land.
There age and youth seeking the truth
Prizing liberty
For learning and labor stand,
For learning and labor stand.
Alma Mater, Alma Mater,
Hail to thee, Oberlin, honored Mother!

Repeat CHORUS

Jason Noble Pierce, 1913
Recorded at Oberlin College Carnegie Hall, Alumni Council Dinner on September 11, 2009.
