Lyrics

St. Anthony, our father dear,
We meet around your feet once more,
Your boundless graces to proclaim,
And make them sound from shore to shore.

St. Anthony, O hear our prayer,
Thy loving children, ask thy care.
Oh, you who for great wonders seek,
Be present at our Father’s feet.

Ah, there you’ll find that even death,
Has yielded to his power sublime,
St. Anthony, O hear our prayer,
Make us your loving children, thine.
