St. Agnes
Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: O holy martyr, spotless dove Lyrics: 1 O holy martyr, spotless dove,
With joy we celebrate thy day;
Thou dwellest now in bliss above,
Where tyrants o'er thee have no sway.
Sweet Agnes, pure, angelic child,
Sweet Agnes, pray, Oh, pray for us!
2 Thy cruel suff'rings all are past,
A crown of glory decks thy brow;
Celestial light is round thee cast,
And God is thine forever now.
Sweet Agnes, pure, angelic child,
Sweet Agnes, pray, Oh, pray for us!
3 Oh, pray that we may ever seek
To be as free as thou from stain;
As constant, fervent, pure and meek,
Regardless of earth's fleeting pain.
4 And, holy saint, be this our prayer,
That prizing not the world's renown,
Through trials it may be our care,
To strive but for a heavenly crown.
Used With Tune: [O holy martyr, spotless dove]

St. Aloysius
Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: The youth who wealth and courts despised Lyrics: 1 The youth who wealth and courts despised,
His spotless mind above to raise,
Who ev'ry rising tho't chastised,
'Tis Aloysius claims our lays.
Chorus:
Amiable and angelic youth,
Aloysius, pray for us,
Amiable and angelic youth,
Aloysius, pray for us,
Amiable and angelic youth,
Aloysius, pray for us,
Aloysius, pray for us.
2 His infant words, the first he frames,
He utters with a trembling voice;
Jesus, and Mary, hallowed names,
Dwell on his lips, and speak his choice. [Chorus]
3 Delighting in the Lord alone,
All earthly pleasures he forsakes,
And ere yet half to manhood grown,
His virgin vows to Mary makes. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [The youth who wealth and courts despised]

St. Catherine's Ballad
Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Saint Catherine, she was a maiden mild Lyrics: 1 St. Catherine, she was a maiden mild,
St. Catherine, she was a maiden pure;
And after her prayers she loved her books,
That show us to heaven the pathway sure.
O St. Catherine, meek!
O St. Catherine, pure!
2 The wisest doctors of Egypt came
To prove that the Catholic faith was wrong,
They reasoned for hours, and bro't out their books,
For they all were mighty in wits and tongue.
O St. Catherine, meek!
O St. Catherine, pure!
3 Saint Catherine stood before them all,
So humble--she trusted in Heaven alone;
She proved that the Catholic faith was right,
Till there they sat, as dumb as a stone.
4 Now what did the king and his courtiers do,
When none of them all could answer a word?
They said she no longer was fit to live,
And cut off her innocent head with a sword.
5 But, far away to the holy mount,
Bright angels in triumph St. Catherine bore;
And now in the courts above she reigns
With Christ and His Mother for evermore.
6 O dear Saint Catherine! pray for us now;
Help us to keep our Faith's true light;
For we are in struggle with danger and sin,
And you are in Heaven where all is bright. Used With Tune: [St. Catherine, she was a maiden mild]
