(draft school song for the Geneva School of Diplomacy)

Alma Mater GSD

Geneva, land of learning,
belvedere of human rights.
We come to you in yearning,
keen to climb your many heights.

Here cultures come together,
high above a radiant Lac Leman.
Here friendships bloom forever,
here at the Château de Penthes.

We raise our voices with esteem
for cheerful peers and our faculty.
Together we make quite a team,
and hail our cherished GSD!

Oh Alma Mater GSD,
inspire us now to grow and be
the leaders we can surely be
to better serve humanity.

Oh Alma Mater GSD,
we pledge ourselves to Thee,
and sing our anthem full of hope:
our future shall surpass this hope.

** there is a nice tune by Johannes Brahms that would go well for Alma Mater GSD

or it can be sung to the German student song "So pünktlich zur Sekunde"

Geneva, land of learning,
tribune of our human rights.
we come to you in yearning,
keen to climb your many heights.

Here cultures come together,
high above the Lac Leman.
Our friendships are forever,
here at the Château de Penthes.

We raise our voices with esteem
for cheerful peers and faculty.
Together we make quite a team,
with pride we hail Thee, GSD!

Oh Alma Mater GSD,
inspire us now to grow and be
the leaders we can surely be
to better serve humanity.

Oh Alma Mater GSD,
we pledge ourselves to Thee,
and sing our anthem full of hope:
our future shall surpass this hope.
