Down among old Licking’s hills, 
There is a place my memory fills. 
And my heart with rapture always thrills. 
When I think of Denison. 
Granville, I love thee. 
Valley and hill. 
Fondly my memory clings to thee still. 
Granville, I love thee. 
Present and past. 
While time endures this love 
For thee shall last. 
Wherever I may make my home. 
However far from her I roam. 
Thoughts of dear old Granville oft will come 
To a son of Denison. 
Granville, I love thee.

Naught but delight. 
Granville, I love thee. 
Till time is done. 
Hail ! Alma Mater, hail ! 
Old Denison.
