We proudly sing to thee
Of glories and of honors
That have framed thy majesty;
Though we'll depart
Not one will hesitate
To pledge his lifelong loyalty

Stand proud against thy foes,
Let victory thy colors see
While honor be thy goal;

Let none thy fame berate,
As forward on to victory
Goes Bloomsburg State!
