Hymn to St Francis Xavier
Verse 1
You came from Spain and sailed the seas,
A humble man who loved the poor.
You travelled far and wide in peace
Bringing joy to one and all.Refrain
St Francis Xavier, with cross in hand
Guide us to Jesus and be our friend.
O, teach us how to love our fellowmen;
You bring us closer to the Son of Man.Verse 2
You built the Church in many lands,
The word of God we learnt through you.
You shared with us the love of God;
For our sins He gave His life.Refrain
St Francis Xavier, with cross in hand
Guide us to Jesus and be our friend.
O, teach us how to love our fellowmen;
You bring us closer to the Son of Man.Verse 3
Your life has taught us that we are free;
To work for God with dignity.
We pray, dear Francis, that ev’ry day
We love each other in ev’ry way.Final Refrain
St Francis Xavier, with cross in hand
With you beside us, we bravely stand.
Now ever closer to the Son of Man,
St Francis Xavier, with cross in hand.
St Francis Xavier, with cross in hand.
