HYMN TO ST. STANISLAUS

Saint of our youth! Thy heart to gain
Earth spread her glittering toys in vain
Thy spirit turned from fading things
To seek and serve the King of Kings.

Chorus:
Guide from thy throne of light above,
Our steps in faith and hope and love,
That we may tread were thou hast trod,
Bravely the narrow way of God.

No dull delay thy fervour knew,
But fast the busy moments flew,
And in thy dawn of light appears,
The wisdom of declining years.

Guide from thy throne.....

Made perfect thus in little space,
God called thee to his long embrace,
Before the mists of earth could throw,
a shadow on thy robe snow.
Guide from thy throne.....

Fr. Clement Barraud.
