​

CHORUS:      Harper Baptist Seminary,
                       Harper Baptist Seminary,
                       Harper Baptist Seminary, All praises to Our God.

​

His name was Simon Harper, Born the son of a slave;
He gave his life to Jesus Christ, And his soul was saved.
He valued education. Many paths by him were paved,
All praises to Our God.

 

CHORUS

​

He established Harper College, Moved by faith and not by sight;
With a vision to help others, Though he could not read or write.
He preached the Word of Jesus, To all people black and white,
All praises to Our God.

 

CHORUS

 

The school at Gloster is no more, destroyed by smoke and flames,
But Harper Seminary stands--pressing on in Jesus’ name.
Simon Harper planted churches, Where the Word is still proclaimed,
All praises to Our God.
