Faculty Hymn
AB Hymn- Carved from the mighty rock of faith
- Shaped by traditions of old
- Steered by God's guiding hand
- Towards farther shores of our dreams
- Fitful vessels on the high seas
- Surging, undaunted, and free
- Sunlit decks ring with voices
- Resounding in one hymn of praise
- Life, love, and lore brimming full
- Tempered by His gentle hand
- The sea's lucent blue in a distant white
- The mind's calm reason and the heart's delight
- We are lovers of beauty
- Seekers after truth
- Pens ever-geared for sweetness and light
- Arts and Letters, our glory and pride!
The AB Hymn was written by the highly respected writer in the country, Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta, who also served as the Dean of the UST Faculty of Arts and Letters.

Famous quotes containing the words faculty and/or hymn:
“Reason is man’s faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man’s ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man’s instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man’s instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
—Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)
