St. Patrick was a slave. He escaped and then forgave. He brought Christ’s holy word To those who had not heard. They had been his captors. He saved them from terrors. With shamrock plant in hand He helped them understand That God was very grand. God is a Trinity In His divinity. God is filled full of love For those born from above. This thrilled the Irish so. They were happy to know No more fear in the night That them a god might smite. They embraced Jesus Christ And found that He sufficed. That is why to this day We hold St. Patrick's Day.
