Chorus: Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, you're our Saint
A holy Redemptorist missionary for us sinner 'Aints
You lived simply and cheerfully in New Orleans
You faithfully shared the Gospel of love through all means

1. The years have come and gone so fast
But memories of you will always last
In the Communion of Saints we know you'll surely grow

For while your roots have been underground
They've sprouted abundantly all around
Seelos Center tells the world what we know

+++ We Honor You
We Love You So (2X)

Prayer Bridge: O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer
Let the words of my mouth
And the meditation of my heart
Be pleasing in Your sight
I offer praise to You
For the Grace You have bestowed
On Your humble Redemptorist missionary
Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos
May I have the same joyful vigor
That Fr. Seelos possessed
During his earthly life
To love You deeply
And live faithfully
Your Gospel
Amen.
Alleluia! Chorus

2. The Holy Spirit's Healing comes to those who seek
And strengthens us who are so weak
If we are children adopted to the Father's Will

The road ahead may bring us fears
Trust in divine providence helps us through the tears
You echo Mary's "Fiat" for Jesus to fulfill / +++ / Chorus
