-2*2 -1   2
Fair Har-vard
-1   -1 -2* -3  3  -4 -5    -5
Thy sons to thy ju-bi-lee throng 
 4*  -4   -3    3   -2*  3  -1   2   -2*
And with bless-ings sur-ren-der thee oâ€™er
-2*  2   -1  2  -1   -1
By these fes-ti-val rites
-2*  -3   3   -4  -5  -5
From the age that is past

To the age that is wait-ing be-fore

Star of their night

Calm ris-ing through change 
-1     2     -1
And through storm
