RIBBONS OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU
Words by Edna McElver Lefler, Alpha
Words and music by Sarah Pollock Perrine, Alpha
Life’s gray shadows may creep o’er us, Sad our hearts and old, But with thee our fond tho’t lingers, Emerald and gold! Dear old Alpha Sigma Tau, Glory be to thee, May we ever live to honor Thy dear memory.
You (we) are wearing the ribbons emerald and gold Colors of Alpha Sigma Tau You will love them forever emerald and gold Bright and shining ever true
Tho’ our lot be high or lowly, Be it weal or woe, Bound by ties that naught can sever, We will onward go! Dear old Alpha Sigma Tau, Tho’ we’re far from thee, Still our hearts beat warm and true to Thy dear memory.
GRACE BEFORE MEALS Lyrics by Doris Coates, Zeta Tau Music by Sarah Pollock Perrine, Alpha
Dear Lord, of all mankind, Bless to us this humble food. Grant that each Alpha Sigma Tau, May in thy rich graces grow.
As the days go by You (we) will always be Proud to wear the colors for the world to see You (we) are wearing the ribbons emerald and gold, colors of an Alpha Sigma Tau.
OURSELVES Words and Music by Ruth E. Conn, Zeta
We have our gold and em’rald colors and our shield for sheer success. Our jewel is the pearl, With its bond of friendliness The yellow rose it is our flower. We shall never fall. We shall always honor our dear old Alpha Sigma Tau.
IN THE CANDLELIGHT Words and Music by Virginia Rowley Cooper, Alpha
BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in worldwide love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.

In the candle glow we all stand together, In a ring of golden light And our hearts are full as we pledge again The vow we all renew. Tho’ the years go by in our memories But one flame will burn ever bright. It’s the friendship born in the candlelight As we sing of Alpha Sigma Tau.
