"Savannah State Hymn"
Written by J. Randolph Fisher and Hillary Hatchett
Lyrical revision by LaGina Frazier
Let us give thanks and praises to Our Alma Mater,
S.S.U. Thine honor, pride, and eminence,We raise
in prayerful reverence.
Refrain:
Where Savannah meets the sea,Where grassy plains
and palms abound, Where the flow'rs are gems
of loveliness, There S.S.U. is found.
We adore each beauteous scene and hall, Our all
we pledge to Thee!
In our hearts we'll build a shrine for You We hail
Thee, S.S.U.!
Guide us still from day to day,Be Thou mindful
lest we lose our way; Help us know that life, short
or long, Means unceasing work for weak and
strong.
Refrain:
Where Savannah meets the sea, Where grassy plains
and palms abound,Where the flow'rs are gems
of loveliness, There S.S.U. is found.
We adore each beauteous scene and hall, Our all
we pledge to Thee!
In our hearts we'll build a shrine for You We
hail Thee, S.S.U.!
