Far above the Appomattox,
On its lofty hill,
Stands the school we love so dearly,
And we always will. 
Through the years may come between us,
Still what’ere our fate,
We will keep thy song before us,
Hail Virginia State.
Keep our aim and purpose steadfast
Thru the darkest night,
Lead us on to full achievement,
By thy guiding light;
Then when we fulfill our mission,
Be it small or great,
We will sing thy praise forever,
Hail Virginia State.
Refrain
Carry me back to Alma Mater.
Life’s sweetest song we will sing to our Mother,
Hail to Virginia State, our home forever more.
