Alma Mater On the banks of Susquehanna In God's chosen place Stands our dear old Davis College, Subject of His grace.
Davis College, how we love you And your teachers dear. We will all pray daily for you Though we're far from here.

We must part now, for He calls us To a wider field; And though we are loath to leave you, For His sake, we yield.
