BRAVO FR HENRI
When a father is talked about,
He’s sure perceived without a doubt;
In a priest who among us stays,
...
God works through men and instruments - his priests,
Who from time immemorial pour their lives,
Like the Kingly master sorely opprest,
Who though killed in his youth his message still thrives.
...
Society seems to have gone wild,
And man can’t pretend to be mild;
Many shunning God’s law have strayed,
Into the abyss there to stay.
...
The saviour from on high,
Descended to the earth,
To free man from his sigh.
