Lyrics

Hail to California
Alma Mater dear
Sing the joyful chorus
Sound it far and near
Rallying round her banner
We will never fail
California, Alma Mater
Hail! Hail! Hail!

Hail to California
Queen in whom we’re blest
Spreading light and goodness
Over all the West
Fighting ‘neath her standard
We shall sure prevail
California, Alma Mater
Hail! Hail! Hail!
