1.  WHILE HEAVEN PROCLAIMS

While heaven proclaims O Francis,

Thy glory fair and bright

Our earthly choirs are chanting,

Thy praise in festive hymns

Thou glory of the Church, in thy eternal joy,

O listen to our prayers, that we may follow thee.

In youthful strength and vigour, thou spurnest earthly joys,

And rushest holy warrior, to join the hosts of Christ.

2.      LISTEN TO OUR PRAYER TODAY

Great Saint Francis, our glorious Patron,

Listen to our prayer today.

With your guidance and protection,

Help us on our heavenly way.

In your footsteps may we follow,

Free from sin and filled with love.

Lead us to our destination,

Keep our eyes and God above.

Great Saint Francis, gentleman saint,

Teach us how to love our God.

Help us to be gentle, humble,

Following like you Christ our Lord.

Doctor of Love, Great Saint Francis,

Teach us to be honest, true,

To be helpful and forgiving,

To love the poor, just like you

3.      LISTEN TO OUR HYMN WE SING

Great Francis our glorious patron,

Listen to our hymn we sing,

From thy lofty throne in heaven,

Guard us on our heavenly way,

In thy footsteps may we follow,

Free from taint of sin or loss,

Till our final dedication,

Till we reach the heaven above.

Great Francis you gentleman saint,

Listen to these sinful souls

Help us to be truly humble,

As you followed Christ Our Lord,

Doctor of Love, You O Francis.

And in love of God you died,

Help us also to love Jesus,

And our neighbour as ourselves.
