Laudate Annam

Laudate, laudate, laudate Annam! (bis)
or
We praise you, we praise you, we praise you, Good Saint Anne! (bis)

1 To kneel at your altar,
In faith we draw near,
Led onward by Mary,
Your daughter so dear.

2 To all who invoke you,
You do lend an ear.
You do soothe the sorrows
Of all who draw near.

3 The sick, the afflicted,
The lame, and the blind,
The suff’ring, the sinner
All comfort here find.

4 Saint Anne, we implore you,
Oh! Do hear our prayer;
In time of temptation,
Take us in your care.

5 In this life, please give us
What always is best,
And bring us at long last
To our heav’nly rest.
