PASMETH HYMN
This We Say
As we hone our minds to see the truth
We open up our hearts for our
fellowmen
That they be given the duty that we
are
And as we unite

We realize that in each others arms

Through the darkest nights
We can see the light of the deathless
stars
To our Motherland we offer thee
The fruit of our toil
As we climb the steep
We will strive to keep
Our blood in our soil
And as we fulfill our destiny
Well see our vision through
As we pledge to thee
That in PASMETH
We shall oath our hearts in truth
And may God enact our sacred pact
To the world, this we say
Let progress be in the breast of
learning
And may they never part
