We come to the river for to drink from the stream.

We climb up the mountainside to reach for a dream.



We come to the forest for to blaze new trails

Reaching oceans, we unfurl sails.



And for our food and our raiment we will lightly care,

For learning and knowledge is our fare.



And every page which we study, every word we write

Leads closer to the truth and the right.



May each question be answered. May our vision be clear.

May we serve with conviction that our God's ever near.



May He ever sustain us as we follow His beam

Let us drink from the river and dream.

We'll mine every theory with the zeal of our youth,
Expose every error and reveal every truth.

The joy of discovery will feed our souls
As we master our heartfelt goals.

So many friends and companions met along our way
Will reach out in friendship, ne'er to stray.

And then ascending together, every day we'll find
A soul refreshed in heart and in mind.

May each question be answered. May our vision be clear.
May we serve with conviction that our God's ever near.

May He ever sustain us as we follow His beam
Let us drink from the river and dream.
