O Holy Name

O Holy Name By William Cardinal O'Connell O Holy Name | of Majesty and Power, O sacred Name | of God's own Son. In ev'ry joy | and ev'ry weary hour, Be thou our strength until life's war is won. Fierce is the fight for God and the right; Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might. All oe'r the earth | the hearts of men are dying, Chilled by the storms | of greed and strife; All o'er the land | rebellion's flag is flying, Threat'ning our altars and the nation's life. Fierce is the fight for God and the right; Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might. Ages ago, | our fathers firm and loyal, Fougth for the faith, | forever same; We are their sons, | our heritage is royal, And we shall conquer in the Holy Name. Fierce is the fight for God and the right; Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might. Upward Christian Soldiers, | Christ who goes before us, Shows us His cross | and leads the way; Benedict our Pontiff, | guides and God is o'er us, Vict'ry is ours, if we but watch and pray. Fierce is the fight for God and the right; Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might!

O Holy Name
By William Cardinal O'Connell
O Holy Name | of Majesty and Power, O sacred Name | of God's own Son. In ev'ry joy | and ev'ry weary hour,Be thou our strength until life's war is won.
Fierce is the fight for God and the right;Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might.
All oe'r the earth | the hearts of men are dying, Chilled by the storms | of greed and strife; All o'er the land | rebellion's flag is flying,Threat'ning our altars and the nation's life.
Fierce is the fight for God and the right;Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might.
Ages ago, | our fathers firm and loyal, Fougth for the faith, | forever same; We are their sons, | our heritage is royal,And we shall conquer in the Holy Name.
Fierce is the fight for God and the right;Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might.
Upward Christian Soldiers, | Christ who goes before us, Shows us His cross | and leads the way; Benedict our Pontiff, | guides and God is o'er us,Vict'ry is ours, if we but watch and pray.
Fierce is the fight for God and the right;Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might!
