Hymn to Saint Anthony

Saint Anthony, we turn to thee
When troubles sore, distress
Sure of your love for you didst know,
The Christ Child's soft caress,

For you didst hear his gentle voice,
Didst clasp him to thy breast,
Didst feel his pretty cheek 'gainst thine,
His arms about thee pressed.

O gentle Saint tell him our needs,
His children too are we,
O ask Him now to grant our pray'rs
And we at peace shall be

We would, O blessed Saint, with thee
The Holy Child adore
With hearts as pure as thine dear Saint,
Now and forever more.
