Alma Mater

VERSE ONE:
Moravian, we honor thee,
Shining bright as Bethle’m’s star.
We’ve learned from thy fine faculty,
Made friendships near and far.

REFRAIN:
Moravian, we look to thee,
Our alma mater dear,
Forever in our hearts you’ll be,
Our belov’d university.

VERSE TWO:
The “Shining jewel of Bethlehem,
We flourish in your glow,”¹
We pledge our love and loyalty
For your care which helped us grow.

REFRAIN:
Moravian, we look to thee,
Our alma mater dear,
Forever in our hearts you’ll be,
Our belov’d university.

VERSE THREE:
When college days are in our past
And we travel far and wide,
Our ties to you will ever last
And our love for you abide.

REFRAIN:
Moravian, we look to thee,
Our alma mater dear,
Forever in our hearts you’ll be,
Our belov’d university.
(It is customary during the singing of the third refrain to extend your hand in fellowship to those around you.)
