SUNG TO THE THEME FROM THE FOURTH MOVEMENT
OF BEETHOVEN’S NINTH SYMPHONY
A Song for Texas A&M International University
Near to Rio Grande’s waters, stately towers above the plain,
Stands our noble Alma Mater, wisdom raised for all to gain.
Binding nations, hearts and visions, aspirations ever new,
Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater!
Hail to Thee, dear TAMIU!
Here, ‘neath sun and gentle breezes, dove and deer lodge safely by,
May Thy children, safe in wisdom, flourish ever ‘neath Thy sky.
Pledge we faith and homage ever, joined in our diversity,
May time ne’er efface the memory of our University!
Binding nations, hearts and visions, aspirations ever new,
Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater!
Hail to Thee, dear TAMIU!
