HYMN-"God of Grace and God of Glory" ______________ ________________ Harry Emerson Fosdick

1. God of grace and God of glory,

On Thy people pour Thy power;

Crown Thine ancient Church's story;

Bring her bud to glorious flower.

Grant us wisdom,

Grant us courage,

For the facing of this hour,

For the facing of this hour.

2. Lo! the hosts of evil round us

Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways!

Fears and doubts too long have bound us; .

Free our hearts to work and praise.

Grant us wisdom,

Grant us courage,

For the living of these days,

For the living of these days.

ALMA MATER-"Dear A. and T." ___ _

3. Cure Thy children's warring madness,

Bend our pride· to Thy control;

Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,

Rich in: things and pour in soul.

Grant us wisdom,

Grant us courage,

Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal.

Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goaL

4. Set our feet on lofty places;

Gird our lives that we may be

Armored with all Christ like graces

In the fight to set man free.

Grant us wisdom.

Grant us courage.

That we fail not man nor Thee,

That we fail not man nor Thee.

_______________________________ Susie B. Dudley

Dear A. and T ., dear A. and T ., a monument indeed, Around thy base with grateful hearts behold thy students keel. We bless the power that gave thee birth to help us in our need, We'll ever strive while here on earth all loyalty to yield.

REFRAIN

With joy, with joy, dear A. and T., thy students turn from thee To spread thy trophies year by year from Dare to Cherokee.

II

Dear A. and T., dear A. and T., the signet thou shalt be, Set by our great old commonwealth, proud boaster of the free; She'd have the record of her worth on granite not inscribed­Nay, let the children of her birth proclaim it by their lives ..

III

Dear A. and T ., dear A. and T ., henceforth our aim shall be, By precepts wise and deeds more sure to bless the State through thee; The arts of industry to wield against an idle foe. A harvest rich from ripened fields of what thy students sow.
