As the Sun daily rises in the Orient sky, in the waking East
To nurse our world with warmth, with food, with light It feeds the plants that feed both human being and beast
The gift for life from the Most High, from the highest Height!
We mortals in true gratitude to Him alone must bow
For He alone's our Creator! For He alone's our Lord!
To serve Him and Him alone must be our eternal vow!
For this we must learn to live in tune with His Eternal Laws!
As the Sun daily rises in the Orient, in the awakening East
We joyfully rise to learn to nurse the infirm, to help the sick
This is our bounden duty! We're human, we're not beast!
Did He, the Son of God, Jesus, not enjoin us all truly to seek?
With the good assurance also that we shall surely find!
Find the Path Home to Paradise through love of neighbour
As we love our self! And who's our neighbour? - All mankind!
Thus we pledge, we students of Orient College - our ship's harbour!
