  1. The Seven Sacraments in Verse

    Share Share Post
    The church has seven sacraments
    as you must all believe
    And three of these more requisite to know
    and to believe
    Baptism washes out the sin which Adam did commit
    And the sins that ourselves have done
    Penance will remit.
    In the Blessed Eucharist we receive
    the body and blood divine
    of our Lord Jesus Christ
    under the appearance of bread and wine
    In confirmation we believe the Holy Ghost is given
    Extreme Unction gives us strength
    to die and go to heaven
    By Holy Orders priests are made
    And get both power and grace
    And matrimony blesses those
    whom married life embrace.
