In time of temptation take us in your care.
Chorus:
O Good Saint Anne we call on your name.
Your praises loud, your children proclaim.
To kneel at your altar, in faith we draw near,
Led onward by Mary, your daughter so dear.
In this life obtain for us that which is best,
And bring us at last to our heavenly rest.
Of old when our fathers first touched this bright shore,
They named thee its patron and saint evermore.
St Anne we implore thee to listen to our prayer
In time of temptation, take us to thy care.
St. Anne is in heaven and joins us in prayer
To praise the Lord’s blessings and love that we share.
For all those who come here you offer your prayer
That they may find comfort in Jesus’ dear care.

Lyrics
Saint Anne, we implore you to listen to our prayer,In time of temptation take us in your care.
Chorus:
O Good Saint Anne we call on your name.
Your praises loud, your children proclaim.
To kneel at your altar, in faith we draw near,
Led onward by Mary, your daughter so dear.
In this life obtain for us that which is best,
And bring us at last to our heavenly rest.
Of old when our fathers first touched this bright shore,
They named thee its patron and saint evermore.
St Anne we implore thee to listen to our prayer
In time of temptation, take us to thy care.
St. Anne is in heaven and joins us in prayer
To praise the Lord’s blessings and love that we share.
For all those who come here you offer your prayer
That they may find comfort in Jesus’ dear care.
