Therefore pray to Christ our Saviour,
to Save our souls.
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let

O Father of Fathers, St Anthony, Thy
soul was moved by desire, and
insatiable Love for Christ, so Thou
searched for Him alone in the desert
and wilderness, where Thou avoided
all tumults and noise, and thus
conversed with Him, one to one,

became firm as a wall while the
people crossed the sea on foot,
offering this song acceptable to God:
Let us sing to the Lord, for He has
been greatly Glorified!
O D E 3 O Lord, the firm foundation of

Thou confirm the Church, which
Thou hast purchased with Thy
