Original UST Hymn With Its Tagalog Translation

Seat of Aquinas, majestic enduring

the storms of the ages.

Shrine of our ancient fathers,

Carved in these isles

This is the castle imperious.

This is the home of our sages.

Blessed by the Cross of the angels,

Gift of our Mother Spain!

Deep in her echoing chambers

Flames of eternal yearning

Cast their benignant shadows

athwart this beloved land.

Keeping the torches of freedom

and heave forever burning.

Deep in the heart led by the Saviour's

command.

(Chorus)

God of all nations

Merciful Lord of our restless being,

Sweep with your golden lilies;

This fountain of purest light;

Trace with the sails of the galleons

the dream beyond our seeing

Touch with the flame of your kindness

the gloom of our darkest night.

Keep us in beauty and truth and virtues

impassioned embrace

Ever your valiant legions

Imbued with Unending Grace!

Tagalog Translation

Diyos ng Bayan

Maawaing Diyos, ng aming katauhan

Lantay ng gintong lirio

ang batis na dalisay

Bakas ng layag ng galeon,

Lubhang lampas sa paningin

ang Iyong maawaing liwanag

Lagim ng kadiliman.

Sa kagandahan, katotohana’t kabaitan.

Ang Iyong mga kawal

Biyaya’y walang hanggan
