O Hampton, a thought sent from Heaven above, To be a great soul s inspiration We sing thee the earnest of broad human love, The shrine of our heart s adoration. Thy foundations rm and thy roof trees outspread, And thy sacred altar res burning, The sea circling round thee, soft skies overhead, Dear Hampton, the goal of our yearning
Refrain
O Hampton, e never can make thee a song E cept as our lives do the singing, In service that ill thy great spirit prolong, And send it through centuries ringing
ind mother e ll treasure the dear happy days We ve spent here in life s preparation, et go ith brave hearts upon our chosen ays, Of service to God and our nation. Still earing thy colors, the blue and the hite, As pledge that our fond hearts ill cherish A love hich for thee ever shines true and bright, A loyalty that ne er can perish
