THE UNIVERSITY HYMN


(WMSU HYMN)

Western Mindanao State University


Beautiful emblem of the southern seas
Meant to mould the youth for human dignity
The pillar of peace and unity

Firm she stands and stalwart she looks


With its crimson and white in the sil’vry light
As she glides to guide the beaming faces upright
She whispers the tune of the Old Normal School

Hail, Oh Alma Mater dear!


The beacon light of a million fold
Praise be to them that nurtured thee,
Who fought and died let their laurels be

Shout aloud in triumph, we


For God has granted His decree
Born the State University
Long envisioned for eternity

(Repeat 1st and 2nd stanza)
