ST. PATRICK’S ANTHEM

CHORUS:

Great and glorious Saint Patrick

Pray for your dear children

Great and glorious Saint Patrick

Hearken to the prayers of your children

1. Ireland’s champion saint all hail

With fadeless glory crowned

The children of your ardent zeal

This day your praise shall sound

2. Born on the winds of charity

To Erin’s coast you flew

Bade Satan from her valleys flee

And his dark shrines o’erthrew

3. Wondering thro ‘errors gloomy right

Our fathers did lose their way

You cheer’d their hearts with heav’nly night

With truth’s consoling ray

4. Oh what a harvest crowned your toil

The earth long cur’d was blessed

Each lovely virture graced its soil

The sinners’ heart find rest
