For God and Saint Patrick and our native home.

SAINTS, St. Peter

Seek ye a Patron to defend?
Si vis Patronum quaerere

Translated by Father Caswall
Nicola A. Montani

1.
Seek ye a patron to defend
Your cause? then, one and all,
Without delay upon the Prince
Of the Apostles call.

Refrain
Blest holder of the heav'nly Keys!
Thy pray'rs we all implore;
Unlock to us the sacred bars
Of Heav'n's eternal door.

2.
By penitential tears thou didst
The path of life regain:
Teach us with thee to weep our sins
And wash away their stain.

3.
The Angel touch'd thee and forthwith
Thy chains from off thee fell
Oh loose us from the subtle coils
That link us close with Hell.

4.
Firm Rock wheron the Church is based
Pillar that cannot bend
With strength endue us; and the Faith
From heresy defend.

SAINTS, St. Paul

Lead us, great teacher Paul

Translated from the Latin
From a Slovak Hymnal

Slowly

1.
Lead us, great teacher Paul, in wisdom's ways,
And lift our hearts with thine to heav'n's high throne,
Till faith beholds the clear meridian blaze,
And in the soul reigns charity alone.

2.
Praise, blessing, majesty, thro' endless days,
Be to the Trinity immortal giv'n,
Who in pure unity profoundly sways,
Eternally all things in earth and Heav'n.

SAINTS, St. Anthony of Padua

If great wonders thou desirest
(Si quaeris)

Translated by Father Aylward, O. P.
Melody from a Slovak Hymnal

Andante moderato

1.
If great wonders thou desirest,
Hopeful to Saint Anthony pray;
Error, Satan, wants the direst,
Death and pest his will obey,
And the sick, who beg his pity,
From their couches haste away.

2.
Young and old are ever singing,
Praises to Saint Anthony bringing;
Stormy ocean calms its passion,
Bonds and fetters break in twain,
Treasures lost and limbs disabled,
These his pow'r restores again.

3.
Padua has been the witness
Of these deeds six hundred years;
Dangers flee and need must perish,
Grief and sorrow disappear,
Filling all the world with wonder,
While the demons quake with fear.

4.
Glory be to God the Father
And to His coequal Son,
To the Holy Ghost resplendent;
One in Three--Three in One;
Praise we Father, Son and Spirit
While eternal ages run.
