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. Page 151-152 ---------- No. 99 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. Page 153 ---------- No. 100 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.

And out voices blend in music, Singing praises to thy name. Saint John Baptist! Glorious Patron! Saint La Salle we sound thy fame. 2. Loyal to our Queen and Mother, At her feet didst vow thy heart, Earth, and all its joys, forsaking, Thou didst choose the better part. Saint La Salle, our glorious Father, Pierce our souls with love's one dart. 3. Model of the Christian teacher! Patron of the Christian youth! Lead us all to heights of glory, As we strive in earnest ruth. Saint La Salle! Oh, guard and guide use, As we spread afar the Truth! 4. In this life of sin and sorrow, Saint La Salle, oh, guide our way, In the hour of dark temptation, Father! Be our spirit's stay! Take our hand and lead us homeward, Saint La Salle, to Heav'ns bright day! Copyright MCMXIII by The Gilbert Music Co.
