Philander Smith, oh how we love thy name.
Your rich tradition brought to you much fame.
Through years of service you have grown to be
A place of wisdom, love, humility.
Philander Smith, when we are far away,
From your great teaching we will never stray.
You've giv'n a gift none other could ever give:
A wholesome and abundant life to live.
Philander Smith, your high ideals we'll keep:
A Christian heart and love for truth we'll seek.
We'll know the truth and it shall make us free;
Thy fruits shall grow through all eternity.
