UDM Hymn
Music and Lyrics by Sharon Quintero (2016)
“Mula sa dilim nagkaroon ng liwanag ang aking mga pangarap yakap ng dunong mo at kalinga kinabukasan ko’y makakamit ko na
Universidad de manila ikaw ang nagbigay pag-asa sa tulad naming salat tinupad mo ang mga pangarap
Alma mater naming mahal natatangi ang iyong kadakilaan biyaya ka ng maykapal ina’t amang aming gabay tungo sa kaunlaran
Universidad de manila sa iyo’y lubos ang pasasalamat saan man mapunta, ngalan mo’y nakaukit na
Di malilimutan kailanman”
UDM Prayer
Almighty God, creator and giver of life we give you thanks and vow to seek Your light through the knowledge that we gain and impart with our peers in our University
Grant us forgiveness for the sins we confess and give us strength to discern what is best four ourselves, and more so, for the benefit of others
Teach us to have grateful hearts and enlightened minds as we learn and share our talents to the community
For the greater good and a brighter future of the City of Manila and our country
All these for your greater glory.
Amen.
We don’t just give students an education and experiences that set them up for success in a career; we help them succeed, discover a field they’re passionate about, and dare to lead.
