3 The Alma Mater Hail Alma Mater dear, To us be ever near, Help us thy motto bear Through all the years. Let duty be well performed Honor be e’er untarned Country be ever armed West Point by thee Guide us, Thy sons, aright Teach us by day, by night, To keep thine honor bright, For thee to fight. When we depart from thee, Serving on land or sea, May we still loyal be, West Point, to thee. And when our work is done, Our course on earth is run, May it be said, “Well done; Be thou at peace.” E’er may that line of gray Increase from day to day Live, Serve and Die, we pray, West Point, for thee.

4 The Corps The Corps! The Corps! The Corps! The Corps bareheaded salute it. With eyes up, thanking our God That we of the Corps are treading Where they of the Corps have trod. They are here in ghostly assemblage, The men of the Corps long dead. And our hearts are standing attention While we wait for their passing tread. We sons of today, we salute you, You sons of an earlier day; We follow, close order, behind you, Where you have pointed the way; The long gray line of us stretches Through the years of a century told, And the last man feels to his marrow The grip of your far-off hold. Grip hands with us now, through we see not, Grip hands with us, strengthen our hearts As the long line stiffens and straightens With the thrill that your presence imparts. Grip hands with us though it be from the shadows, While we swear as you did of yore, Of living or dying, to honor The Corps, and the Corps and the Corps Bishop H.S. Shipman Former Chaplain, USMA Ceremonial Toasts “To the Commander-in-Chief” “To the President” “To the United States Army” “To the Army” “To the United States Air Force” “To the Air Force” “To the United States Military Academy” “To West Point” “To our Loved Ones”
