Full Lyrics
Higher, higher will we climb
Up the mount of glory,
That our names may live through time
In our country’s story;
Happy, when her welfare calls,
He who conquers, he who falls.
Onward, onward will we press
Through the path of duty;
Virtue is true happiness,
Excellence true beauty;
Minds are of supernal birth,
Let us make a heaven of earth.
Close and closer then we knit
Hearts and hands together,
Where our fireside comforts sit
In the wildest weather;
Oh! they wander wide, who roam,
For the joys of life, from home.
