Sing praise to Saint Patrick who brought to our mountains
the gift of God's faith, the sweet light of His love.
Give praise to the shepherd who showed us the fountains
raised up in the heart of our Savior above.

For hundreds of years, in smiles and in tears,
our Saint has been with us, our shield and our stay;
all else may have gone Saint Patrick alone.
He hath been to us light, when our lights were all set
but the glories of faith, they can never decay,
and the best of these glories is bright with us yet
in the faith and the feast of Saint Patrick's Day.


Yes praise be dear Patrick our bishop our champion.
Women of Erin give thanks for this saint.
By blessing of Jesus, this patron of Ireland
defies so the devil whose vict'ry there ain't.

For hundreds of years, in smiles and in tears,
our saint has been with us, our shield and our stay;
all else may have gone Saint Patrick alone...
He hath been to us light, when our lights were all set
but the glories of faith, they can never decay,
and the best of these glories is bright with us yet
in the faith and the feast of Saint Patrick's Day.


All praise be to God good Father Creator
by your Spirit our patron Saint Patrick reveals.
The shamrock he taught us, has clear illustrated
Trinity in one God divine mys'try prevails!

For hundreds of years in smiles and in tears,
our saint has been with us, our shield and our stay:
all else may have gone Saint Patrick alone...
He hath been to us light, when our lights were all set
but the glories of faith, they can never decay,
and the best of these glories is bright with us yet
in the faith and the feast of Saint Patrick's Day.

St Patrick's Day turns everyone into Irish people for one day. It's ridiculous.

 

[darko]

I'm actually 3/8ths Irish. I welcome all the support. It's a fun day.

It is a common expression of artistic license, not a literal statement of fact.

You are entitled to your opinion even if it is to be a killjoy.

You have 9ish months to work on your 'bah humbug' for this Christmas.
Like Ringo Starr once said

"Get yourself together now and show me something tasty..."
back off boogaloo

While earlier or even prior would have been preferable, it was started by me on St. Patrick's Day early in the evening.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I wasn't referring to anything you posted. Just to the St Patrick Day phenomenon in general. But good to know you still jump up to defend yourself haha

Italian Independence day> St. Patty's Day

Italian Independence day> St. Patty's Day

It’s St. Paddy’s Day. Not St. Patty’s.

Though a holy/drinking day revolving around hamburgers does sound divine in every sense of the word.

I leave you to your own words, which reduces to a Nelson Muntz impression.

 

[Bob Richards]

Good stuff, bern.

Hope you had a great one.

Thanks, BR.
And you as well.

One of these years you and I will wet the whistle.
