(Prayer from the back of a holy card...)
Hail, glorious St. Patrick! We honour thy name,
Tho' Erin may claim thee, the world knows thy fame.
The faith of our fathers is our treasure too,
How holy the thought, that they learnt it from you.
Thru crosses and trials its fires burn bright,
They show us the way, and the truth, and the light.
Great Saint! intercede, that we always may be
Devoted and loyal, true children of thee.
Our love and devotion be ever like thine,
Our thought be of Jesus, our heart be His shrine.
And when to the end of life's path we have trod,
Be near us great Bishop, Anointed of God.
I may be old fashioned, but I love when poems that rhyme like this, even more so when they're a prayer. The old style writing really went well with it, as did the picture. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
