Cheyney University Alma Mater

ALMA MATER

Words and Music: Leslie Pinckney Hill

President of the College, 1913-1951

Cheyney, Cheyney, Alma Mater Thou whose light can never fail. With a deep and true devotion We, thy sons and daughters hail.

Hear the pledge thy children offer Strong of heart and clear of brain, When thou callest, Alma Mater, Never shalt thou call in vain.

Thou has taught us not to falter, To be loyal, brave and true, Striving upward by thy spirit, In whatever we may do;

And at last, when we have triumphed Down the long life battle line, All the honor and the glory, Alma Mater, shall be thine.
