Doshisha College Song

Words by W.M. Vories

Music by Carl Wilhelm 　

1. One purpose,Doshisha, thy name
   
   Doth signify one lofty aim;
   
   To train thy sons in heart and hand
   
   To live for God and Native Land.
   
   Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine
   
   Shall be as branches to the vine;
   
   Tho' through the world we wander far and wide,
   
   Still in our hearts thy precepts shall abide!
   
   


2. We came to Doshisha to find
   
   The broader culture of the mind;
   
   We tarried here to learn anew
   
   The value of a purpose true;
   
   Dear Alma Mater, ours the part
   
   To face the future staunch of heart,
   
   Since thou hast taught us with high aim to stand
   
   For God, for Doshisha, and Native Land!
   
   


3. When war clouds bring their dark alarms.
   
   Ten thousand patriots rush to arms,
   
   But we would through long years of peace
   
   Our Country's name and fame increase.
   
   Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine
   
   Will hold their lives a trust divine
   
   Steadfast in purpose we will ever stand
   
   For God, for Doshisha, and Native Land!
   
   


4. Still broader than our land of birth,
   
   We've learned the oneness of our Earth;
   
   Still higher than self-love we find
   
   The love and service of mankind.
   
   Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine
   
   Would strive to live the life divine;
   
   That we may with increasing years have stood
   
   For God, for Doshisha, and Brotherhood!
