Far Above Cayuga’s Waters

Cornell University song, 1872


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

  1. Far above Cayuga’s waters
    With its waves of blue
    Stands our noble Alma Mater
    Glorious to view

Chorus:
Lift the chorus, speed it homeward
Loud her praises tell
Hail to thee, oh, Alma Mater
Hail, all hail, Cornell!

2. Far above the busy humming
Of the bustling town
Reared against the arch of heaven
Looks she proudly down
