Lyrics
Chorus:
We thank you O Lord for Don Bosco,
In him, we see the wonders of your love,
You filled him with gifts of nature and grace,
To lead young people to their home above.
1 He was a man profoundly human,
Open to the signs of the times,
And yet he was a man,
he was a man of God.
2 Enable us to be his double,
Faithful in the service of youth,
Overcoming hardships with firmness,
With hearts filled with your love.
We thank you O Lord for Don Bosco,
In him, we see the wonders of your love,
You filled him with gifts of nature and grace,
To lead young people to their home above.
1 He was a man profoundly human,
Open to the signs of the times,
And yet he was a man,
he was a man of God.
2 Enable us to be his double,
Faithful in the service of youth,
Overcoming hardships with firmness,
With hearts filled with your love.
