    truth,
    By men with simple hearts.
    The humble peasants built it there,
    With willing heart and hands
    What Patrick preached was practiced well,
    In this historic Glan.
    It showed how well his faith could live,
    Weathered the storms and breeze,
    For many's the day rolled by since then
    Full fifteen centuries.

    And where it chanced to pass,
    The Druid's Pagan Idols fell,
    Or crumbled o'er the grass.

    For long and many's the day,
    Until the time the English came
    'Twas stolen, so they say.
