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:

    The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.
    Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)
