Alma Mater

We recall those days of gladness,
Nestled midst the lakes and pine,
Where we sought the gift of knowledge,
Alma Mater, pride of mine.
Sing her glory and her praises!
Let them ring from sea to sea!
North Florida we proudly honor,
U-N-F, all hail to thee!
Near the shores of the Atlantic
where the Osprey soars on high,
Stands our Alma Mater strong and true,
with her colors gray and blue.
Sing her glory and her praises!
Let them ring from sea to sea!
North Florida we proudly honor,
U-N-F, all hail to thee!

The music was written by W. Moffit, the lyrics by Dr. M. J. Palmer.  An arrangement penned by Carlos Martinez has been sung at recent events, including the 2004 Inauguration of UNF President John A. Delaney and several recent commencement ceremonies as well.
