Stanford Hymn: Hail, Stanford, Hail
Stanford Chamber Chorale
Conducted by Professor Steve Sano, Director of Chorale Studies
Hail, Stanford, Hail!
Where the rolling foothills rise
Up towards mountains higher,
Where at eve the Coast Range lies
In the sunset fire,
Flushing deep and paling;
Here we raise our voices,
Hailing Thee our Alma Mater.
From the foothills to the bay,
It shall ring,
As we sing,
It shall ring and float away;
Hail, Stanford, hail!
Hail, Stanford, hail!
Special Thanks
