The Victorians Hymn Lyrics
The Victorians Hymn
[Intro]
Hmm...
We rise.
We serve.
We honor.
[Verse 1]
Within these halls, our dreams begin,
With humble hearts, we enter in.
Through every lesson, every day,
We learn to walk the noble way.
With guiding hands and voices kind,
Our teachers shape both heart and mind.
In truth and service, we shall stand,
Prepared to serve our home and land.
[Chorus]
We are the Victorians,
With hearts of truth and light.
We carry honor proudly,
We rise to do what’s right.
Dr. Victoria B. Roman,
Your name we lift with pride.
Our beloved alma mater,
You are our faithful guide.
[Verse 2]
From proud Bataan, we rise and grow,
With strength and grace our lives shall show.
In every dream we choose to pursue,
The light we learned remains true.
With courage firm and spirits bright,
We walk in hope, we walk in right.
Wherever life may lead us through,
Our grateful hearts return to you.
[Chorus]
We are the Victorians,
With hearts of truth and light.
We carry honor proudly,
We rise to do what’s right.
Dr. Victoria B. Roman,
Your name we lift with pride.
Our beloved alma mater,
You are our faithful guide.
[Bridge]
May every voice, both strong and clear,
Proclaim the name we hold so dear.
With loyal hearts, we pledge anew,
To live the good we learned from you.
[Final Chorus]
We are the Victorians,
United, brave, and true.
With every dream before us,
We give our best to you.
Dr. Victoria B. Roman,
Your light will lead us through.
Forever proud Victorians,
Our hearts belong to you.
[Final Line]
Forever proud Victorians,
Our hearts belong to you.
