\

Far, far above the waters\ Of the deep blue sea, \ Lies the campus of the College,\ Where we love to be.\ Far away behold Kanisah!\ Far beyond, Sannin!​​​​\ Rising hoary to the heavens,\ Clad in glorious sheen.\ From Iraq or from Arabia \ From the banks so green\ Of the great Egyptian river\ Or from Palestine;\ From the waters of Abana\ Lebanon serene,\ We salute thee, Alma Mater!\ Oriental Queen.\ Hail to thee, our Alma Mater!\ We would ever be\ Worthy children. Make us faithful, \ Faithful e'er to thee!\ Whereso'er the land that calls us,\ E'en across the sea,\ We'll salute thee, Alma Mater,\ Hail! O Hail! to thee.​\ \

Chorus:\ Look before us!\ Shout the chorus!\ See the banner wave.\ AUB in thee we glory;\ Make us true and brave.​\ \
