ORIENTATION

VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY ALMA MATER
Union, we’ll e’er revere the cause for which you stand.
Union! Majestic light, send rays throughout the land;
Thy hallowed grounds and dear old walls,
May they forever be,
Dear Union we still love thee;
Thy hallowed grounds and dear old walls,
May they forever be,
Dear Union we still love thee.
O, for the happy hours we spend
On that cherished and sacred hill;
Our “Dream of Joy” to us attends,
With truth and virtue to instill
Thoughts of by-gone days at thy shrine
Fill my raptured soul with ecstasy,
Alma Mater, my praises are thine!
You are God’s gift to humanity.
Union, we’ll e’er revere the cause for which you stand
Union! Majestic light, send rays throughout the land;
Thy hallowed grounds and dear old walls,
May they forever be,
Dear Union we still love thee;
Thy hallowed grounds and dear old walls,
May they forever be,
Dear Union we still love thee.
