I hear that choir singing
All around my head
Soprano, alto, tenor bass
The old quartet
It makes me tremble
To hear that harmony
And when you hear it
And feel the spirit
That's as good as life can be
(CHOIR HUMS)
We're going down to Northfield
And chase away the blues
Pick up a hymnal
Put on our dancing shoes
My sweet old college
Standing on the hill
It warms my soul if
I see St. Olaf
It held me then, it holds me still
