If miracles thou vain would see;
Lo, error, death, calamity.
The leprous stain, the demon flies,
From beds of pain the sick arise.
The hungry seas forgo their prey…
The prisoner’s cruel chains give way;
While palsied limbs and chattels lost
Both young and old recovered boast.
And perils perish, plenty’s hoard,
Is heaped on hunger’s famished board
Let those relate who know it well,
Let Padua of her patron tell.
The hungry seas forgo their prey,..
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
The hungry seas forgo their prey,……
- Pray for us, blessed Anthony,
- That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
