208. Ye Angels, now be glad

1 Ye angels, now be glad,
And then exult, O Earth!
Loyola's happy shade,
Rejoice at thy saint's birth,
Loyola's happy shade,
Rejoice at thy saint's birth.

Chorus:
Loyola's son, all hail,
By angels crowned above,
Ignatius, father dear,
Accept thy children's love;
Loyola's son, all hail,
By angels crowned above,
Ignatius, father dear,
Accept thy children's love,
Ignatius, father dear,
Accept thy children's love.

2 On Pampeluna's wall,
The leader of the band,
Beheld our youthful saint,
Defend his native land,
Beheld our youthful saint
Defend his native land. [Chorus]

3 Stretched on a bed of pain,
Christ's holy life he reads;
While for his misspent youth
His heart now sorely bleeds. [Chorus]

4 "Begone, O sinful world,
I'll never serve thee more,"
He cries; I'll bear the cross,
Which Jesus for me bore. [Chorus]
