- (1) Holy Fintan, dearest Father
To thy children's prayer incline
While we sing to-day thy virtues
And the glory which is thine.

Hear thy loving children pray,
Grant that we by thy protection
Grow in virtue day by day.
(II)How to praise thee, how to thank thee,

And kind father, near to thee,
Keep us while on earth we wander(continues on next page)- Collector
