GREAT AND GLORIOUS ST. PATRICK
Hibernias Champion Saint all hail! With fadeless glory crowned. The ofspring of your ardent zeal, This day your praise shall sound, This day your praise shall sound.
CHORUS: Great and glorious St. Patrick Pray for our dear country, the country of our fathers, Great and glorious St. Patrick Harken to the prayers of thy children.
Borne of the winds of charity, To Erins coast you flew. Bade Satin from her valleys flee, And his dark shrines oer threw. And his dark shrines oer threw.
CHORUS
From faiths bright camp the demon fled. The path to heavn was cleared. Religion raised her beauteous head, An isle of saints appeared An isle of saints appeared.
CHORUS
To God, who sent you to our isle, Be endless glory given. O, may He ever on it smile, And lead its sons to heavn And lead its sons to heavn.
