Lyrics

  1. For Boston, for Boston
    We sing our proud refrain!
    For Boston, for Boston
    ‘Tis Wisdom’s earthly fane
    For here men are men
    And their hearts are true
    And the towers on the Heights
    Reach to Heav’ns own blue
    For Boston, for Boston
    Till the echoes ring again!
  2. For Boston, for Boston
    Thy glory is our own!
    For Boston, for Boston
    ‘Tis here that Truth is known
    And ever with the Right
    Shall thy sons be found
    Till time shall be no more
    And thy work is crown’d
    For Boston, for Boston
    For Thee and Thine alone
