Hail, glorious St. 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

(optional repeat)
On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys
On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love

Hail, glorious St. Patrick, thy words were once strong
Against Satan's wiles and a heretic throng
Not less is thy might where in Heaven thou art
Oh, come to our aid, in our battle take part!

In a war against sin, in the fight for the faith
Dear Saint, may thy children resist to the death
May their strength be in meekness, in penance, and prayer
Their banner the Cross, which they glory to bear

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

Ever bless and defend the sweet land of our birth
Where the shamrock still blooms as when thou wert on earth
And our hearts shall yet burn, wherever we roam
For God and St. Patrick, and our native home
