Bethune-Cookman Alma Mater
Dear Alma Mater, thou beloved,
We pledge our lives to thee,
Thou art results of toil and pain
And tears come in a stream;
Dear Alma Mater, thou art all
And all the world to me –
Thou’rt the answered prayer of a dream.
Oh, God, protect dear B.C.C.
Crown her with love and cheer;
We’ll ever sing thy praise to Thee,
It makes us strong and bold.
All hail to thee dear B.C.C.
All hail to thee, all hail!
Hail thee, Maroon and Gold.
Amen -
