Ceremony Songs

Oh, say can you see, 
by the dawn’s early light, 

What so proudly we hailed at the 
twilight’s last gleaming. 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, 
thru’ the perilous night, 

O’er the ramparts we watched, 
were so gallantly streaming. 

And the rockets’ red glare, 
the bombs bursting in air, 

Gave proof thru’ the night 
that our flag was still there. 

Oh, say does that star-spangled 
banner yet wave, 

O’er the land of the free 
and the home of the brave.

Hail! Minnesota

Hail! Minnesota 
Minnesota, Hail to thee! 
Hail to thee, our College dear!

Thy light shall ever be 
A beacon bright and clear;

Thy sons and daughters true 
Will proclaim thee near and far;

They will guard thy fame 
And adore thy name;

Thou shalt be their Northern Star.

Like the stream that bends to sea, 
Like the pine that seeks the blue! 
Minnesota, still for thee 
Sons and daughters strong and true;

From thy woods and waters fair 
From thy prairies waving far,

At thy call they throng 
With their shout and song.

Hailing thee their Northern Star.
