The OA Alma Mater

ICA Faculty, 1929

Come, all ye friends of our loved Alma Mater

Come blend with joy your voices here today.

Broadcasting far and near the praise the glory

of this our school, the dear old O.A.

Refrain:

All Hail! All Hail to our loved Alma Mater,

whose standard safe will guide us in life's way:

Virtue, Honor, Education, Love of God and Love of Nation

is our heritage all hail to dear O.A.

‘Tis here we spent blessed youth's happy springtime,

at Oldenburg with loved ones fond and true

Here once again let us with true devotion,

pledge our heart's love and loyalty to you!

Refrain
