The Asbury Hymn

As to a young child a loving mother is,
So are you to us Alma Mater dearest,
Beaconing guidance from thee we trust
Unlimited wisdom we seek to the last,
Resplendent and undoubted our minds we cast,
Yearning to succeed we give our minds and hearts.

How wonderful, how magnificent are thy riches,
Implanted here within thy holy virtues wishes,
Gorgeous glory; wonders of speeches,
Health, morality, wisdom and knowledge

Seekers for truth we are thirsty in spirit,
Changing tides of affliction daily we may meet,
However with thy care we shall no know defeat,
On to glory we shall march ne'er to retreat,
Over and o'er this prayer for thee we raise,
Lord, bless the Asbury College our own and best.
