Music by Glenn Grant Grabill, '00

1. In a quiet peaceful village there is one we love so true.

She ever gives a welcome to her friends both old and new, She stands serene 'mid tree tops green.

She's our dear Otterbein.

2. Her halls have their own message Of truth, and hope, and love.

She guides her youths and maidens To the life that looks above.

Her stately tower Speaks naught but power For our dear Otterbein!

Chorus: Old Otterbein our college, we sing of thee today.

Our memories round thee linger in a sweet and mystic way.

O Otterbein, we love thee, our hearts are only thine.

We pledge anew, we will be true.

Dear Otterbein.
