JUDSON UNIVERSITY ALMA MATER Words by Dr. Benjamin P. Browne, Dr. Gregory C. Lundberg O Judson, now we hail you, our school we hold so dear. Our thoughts and hearts are with you though we be far or near. We pledge our full devotion, our loyalty is sure. With Christ our valiant leader, our Judson shall endure. O Judson, lead with courage into a world of need. To serve with full devotion, for wisdom now we plead. The task is set before us, His call our highest aim; With God’s Word set before us, may His will now remain.
