Page 478 - Where'er he goes much alms he throws, to feeble folk and poor, Beside the way for him they pray, him blessings to procure ; For God and Mary Mother, their heavenly grace to win, His hand was ever bountiful ; great was his joy therein.
Page 75 - Lord; yea, let it praise him, and magnify him for ever. O ye Mountains and Hills, bless ye the Lord ; praise him., and magnify him for ever. O all ye Green Things upon the earth, bless ye the Lord ; praise him, and magnify him for ever.
