Great Doctor of our church! When faith and morals waned
your leadership from Rome was heard. Teach us to live with faith.
Praise Father, Son and Spirit! Praise our loving God!
Monastic life was yours where prayer and order reigned.
Inspire our liturgy and song with dignity and prayer.
Praise Father, Son and Spirit! Praise our loving God!
Your legal mind was blest to serve the Church with care.
Bring order to our wayward lives that we may better serve.
Praise Father, Son and Spirit! Praise our loving God!
Through famine, plague and war you served the poor with love.
For love of all you burned out self. Inspire us now to serve.
Praise Father, Son and Spirit! Praise our loving God!
Great shepherd of Christ’s flock, your pastoral care was planned
to train your church in skill and grace. May grace with knowledge flower.
Praise Father, Son and Spirit! Praise our loving God!
