111. No hope for us albeit we cross the main !
No hope for us albeit we hug our chain!
No hope for us albeit their oaths we try!
Conscience rebukes-our life's a living lie!

112. What shall we do? or whither shall we go?

Nor hill, nor woods, nor mountain, hides from woe,
No cure is here and no physician there;

But God is good! Let our resource be prayer!

113. O God! who makest Moon and stars so bright,

Who framedst Earth and Heav'n and spheres of light,
Thou who hast been and art, and e'er wilt be
One God alone-a Triune Deity!

114. Is Thy sight dim? Thy sense of hearing hushed?
Art Thou not He who once the monsters crushed?
Will not Thy lightning our oppressors rive?
They've quench'd the Faith-scarce left a spark alive.

115. Is this Thy promise made to Patrick erst,

When on Mount Heremon ye both conversed?
Was this the promise vouchsaf'd on the Reeks,
When he had fasted well his Fast of Weeks?

116. Oh, no! It is not thus! Thou art ALL TRUTH !
Eternal years are Thine-yet Thine is YOUTH!
Our's is the sin—the more Thy hand bestows,
The more Thy bounteous treasure overflows.

117. Let Mary hear us! fair-neck'd, undefil'd
Virgin, and Mother of Thine only child!
Hear, John the Baptist! hear us, second John!
Hear us, Apostles! pillars of God's Throne!

118. Saint Michael, Angel-guardian of our Isle !
Patrick, great saviour from the demon's guile!
Ye saints of Eirie, full of holy Love!
Columbas, each as gentle as his dove!

119. Ye Finians! and ye Brendans ! three and three,
But chiefly thou who'st brav'd the Arctic sea!
Thou of the ivied oak, whose vows did lay
The Spirit of the Plague when on his way
To decimate the plains of Iveray!

120. Thou, round whose islet Shannon's waters flow!
Thou of the bright, the sunny Aghadoe!

Thou of the grotto o'er the placid lake,

And thou whose abbey walls the ocean billows break! 121. Oh! pray for Erie, blessed soul of Bride!

And all ye saints and anchorets besidePray that your God may free us from despair, And I, too, pray that God may hear your prayer! 122. "Almighty Father, who in Heav'n hast rest! Restore our Faith, thus let thy name be blessed! Teach us to bear this overwhelming yoke, The many pains our many sins provoke!” 123." All hail, sweet Mary! full of Jesu's grace! Thrice hallow'd thou who seest him face to face; In this her dreary, darksome hour of night, Obtain for Erin LIBERTY AND LIGHT!"
