University of Nairobi Anthem

University of Nairobi we labour all together in search for

knowledge and truth.

We bless and honour Thee, we are the pinnacle of

excellence in knowledge,

Knowledge to serve our mother-land (oh Kenya), knowledge

to serve all mankind

Be not engulfed by pride, let excellence prevail

May we all shun the pitfall, of being the ivory tower

With sacrifice and dedication our problems we’ll overcome

We are the fountain of knowledge we create and hold the

vision

God gives us grace to serve, and the future for us is bright,

and the children

Shall drink from the fountain of knowledge, knowledge

Shall surely set us free (beyond the stars) knowledge shall

surely set them free.
