The Hymn to St. Pius X

St. Pius X, our patron in heaven,
Salt of the earth and light of the world,
Joy of the poor, thy love won all men,
Thy name in our heart is written in gold.

Of souls zealous pastor father most kind,
True man of God, a seraph in pray’r
Guardian of truth thy virtues remind
The whole world of Christ’s most loving care.

Ardent promoter of daily communion,
Enkindle our hearts with Eucharisitic love;
Keep us in Christ’s Divine holy union.

Foster in our hearts devotion to Mary
In heaven our loving and Mother most tender
Of her care and protection make us worthy;
Offer her our love, our most fervent pray’r.
