LET HYMNS RESOUND IN JOYFUL STORY

Let hymns resound,

in joyful story,

Extolling Gerard's saintly life ;

And honour him,

whom heavenly glory

Now crowns for his

victorious strife.

LET HYMNS RESOUND IN JOYFUL STORY

Dear Saint Gerard,

e'er protect us

While in this vale of

tears we roam;

In doubts and trials

here direct us,

And lead us to our heavenly home.

LET HYMNS RESOUND IN JOYFUL STORY

Thou didst despise the

fleeting pleasure

That often ends in endless woe:

But now enjoy’st

the priceless treasure

Which thou e'er soughtest

here below.

LET HYMNS RESOUND IN JOYFUL STORY

When Satan tries,

our will assailing,

To turn us from the

path of right,

Let not thy gracious

aid be failing,

Oh, make us victors in the fight.

LET HYMNS RESOUND IN JOYFUL STORY

In sorrow, cross,

and tribulation,

When suff'rings fill

the soul with grief,

Make faith then

be our consolation

The prize is great, the struggle brief.

And when our course

of life is ending,

Amid the fearful pangs of death;

We pray thee, then,

assistance lending,

Be with us to our final breath.
