Hymn to Blessed John Ogilvie
Hail glorious Father Ogilvie!
O holy Saint of God!
Whose steps did never falter
Upon the narrow road.
The road that leads to heaven,
Where countless martyrs
throng,
And sing their hymns of
gladness,
Before the throne of God.
Chorus:
O Blessed Father Ogilvie!
O martyr of Our Lord!
Pray for our native country
Before the throne of God.
While we thy waiting brethren,
Near-by thy home of Drum,
In Keith the selfsame parish,
Where thou thyself wert born,
In pious supplication
To thee do humbly pray,
That we in God’s sweet mercy
May find our heavenly way.
