"THE UTICA ODE"
Oh, Utica, Dear Utica, fair child of Mississippi
The world now turns its longing eyes to thee.
Be brave and strong, nor stoop to wrong, strong in integrity.
The strength of youth inspires your heart;
In faith and prayer you've made your start.
Now climb the rugged road,
Now climb the rugged road,
Now climb the rugged road, and play your part.
Oh, Utica, brave Utica, Thy race needs Thy assistance,
Viewing Thy policies no more askance
Thy task it is to burst the bonds of baneful ignorance
Naught now can stray the upward way.
God sends the manner day by day,
And guides Thy footsteps, and guides Thy footsteps
And guides Thy footsteps lest they go astray.
Oh, Utica, Dear Utica, we pledge thee help unending.
No lisping tongue, nor stifling voice we bring,
Oh joyful hearts, and willing hands,
Of purpose true depending,
We strive and pressing to that height
Each eye is lost to human sight.
Of mortals when they spurn,
Of mortals when they spurn,
Of mortals when they spurn the path of right.

Oh, Utico, dear Utico, fair child of Mississippi
The world now turns its longing eyes to thee.
Be brave and strong, nor stoop to wrong,
Strong in integrity.
The strength of youth inspires your heart;
In faith and prayer you've made your start

THE GRADUATE'S PLEDGE
With a solemn sense of my responsibility, I pledge myself to hold my diploma
as a sacred trust, an emblem of my obligation to serve my fellow-men, and
to keep its significance inviolate in loyalty to my Alma Mater and with fidelity
to my country and to my God.
GOD BE WITH YOU
God be with you till we meet again,
By His counsels guide uphold you;
With his sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again,
God be with you till we meet again,
Neath His wings protecting hide you,
Daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again, A-men

UTICA ODE
Oh, Utica, dear Utica, fair child of Mississippi
The world now turns its longing eyes to thee.
Be brave and strong, nor stoop to wrong.
Strong in integrity.
The strength of youth inspires your heart;
In faith and proyer you've made your start
Now climb the rugged road, now climb the rugged road,
Now climb the rugged road, and play your part.
GOD BE WITH YOU
God be with you till we meet again,
By His counsels guide uphold you;
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again,
Chorus: Till we meet, Till we meet.
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
Till we meet, Till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again, A-men.
God be with you till we meet again,
Neath His wings protecting hide you.
Daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.

COME, THOU ALMIGHTY KING
Come, Thou Almighty King, help us thy name to sing
Help us to praise — Father all glorious,
O'er all victorious, come and reign over us,

Come, Thou incarnate Word, Gird on thy mighty sword
Our pray'r attend; come and thy people bless,
And give thy word success,
Spirit of holiness, on us descend!

What a privilege to carry, Everything to God in pray'r!
O, what peace we often forfeit, O, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry, Everything to God in pray'r!
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in pray'r.
Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in pray'r.

What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!

We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in pray'r.
Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in pray'r.

UTICA ODE
Oh, Utica, dear Utico, fair child of Mississippi
The world now turns its longing eyes to thee
Be brave and strong, nor stoop to wrong,
Strong in integrity.
The strength of youth inspires your heart;
In faith and prayer you've made your start
Now climb the rugged road, now climb the rugged road,
Now climb the rugged road, and play your part.
GOD BE WITH YOU
God be with you till we meet again,
By His counsels guide uphold you;
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again,
Chorus: Till we meet, Till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
Till we meet, Till we meet,
God be with you will we meet again, A-men.
God be with you till we meet again,
Neath His wings protecting hide you,
Daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again,
By His Counsels Guide uphold you;
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again,
Chorus: Till we meet, Till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
Till we meet, Till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again, A-men.
God be with you till we meet again,
Neath His wings protecting hide you,
Daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.

GOD BE WITH YOU
God be with you till we meet ogoin,
By His Counsels Guide uphold you;
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again,
Chorus: Till we meet, Till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
Till we meet, Till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again, A-men.
God be with you till we meet again,
Neath His wings protecting hide you,
Daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.
