Diverse cultures and The Song of Light and Truth Leaving the lowlands, faces to the dawning, Scaling the mountain heights, heeding not fear’s warning, Sons of the Orient, children of the morning, Seekers of the Light we come! Heirs to the wisdom, taught by saints and sages, Gathered from every clime, treasures of the ages, Ne'er closing wisdom’s book, turning still new pages, Seekers of Truth we come! Then college days done, stirred by high ambition, Armed against the foes of men, vice and superstition. Our native land to serve, this shall be our mission, So Light and Truth shall come!
