1. Hail! glorious Saint Patrick, dear Saint of our isle!
On us thy poor children, bestow a sweet smile;
And now thou art high in the mansions above,
On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love.

2. Hail! glorious Saint Patrick, thy words were once strong
Against Satan's wiles and a heretic throng;
Not less in thy might now in heaven thou art,
Oh, come to our aid, in our battle take part.

3. Thy people now exiles on many a shore,
Shall love and revere thee till time be no more
The fire thou hast kindled shall ever burn bright
Its warmth undiminished, undying its light.
