John Baptist Saint! unto the Christ, for me.
Remembering God’s coronation day;
Thorns for His crown; His throne, a Cross: to thee
Heaven’s kingdom dearer was than earth’s. Then pray
Saint Louis! to the King of kings, for me.
Thy love loved all things: thy love knew no stay,
But drew the very wild beasts round thy knee.
O lover of the least and lowest! pray,
Saint Francis! to the Son of Man, for me.
Bishop of souls in servitude astray,
