Old Nassau

OLD NASSAU
(Lyrics Harlan Page Peck Music Karl A Langlotz

1. Tune ev'ry heart and ev'ry voice,
Bid ev'ry care withdraw;
Let all with one accord rejoice,
In praise of Old Nassau

Chorus-
In praise of Old Nassau, my boys,
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Her sons will give, while they shall live,
Three cheers for old Nassau.

2. Let music rule the fleeting hour,
Her mantle round us draw;
And thrill each heart with all her pow'r,
In praise of Old Nassau,
(Chorus)

3. And when these walls in dust are laid,
With reverence and awe,
Another throng shall breathe our song,
In praise of Old Nassau,
(Chorus)

4. Till then with joy our songs we'll bring,
And while a breath we draw,
We'll all unite to shout and sing:
Long life to Old Nassau.
(Chorus)
