SAINTS, St. Agnes Sweet Agnes, Holy Child Anonymous Melody from a Slovak Hymnal Arr. by N. A. M. Andante religioso 1. Sweet Agnes, holy child, All purity, Oh, may we undefiled, Be pure as thee: Ready our blood to shed Forth as the martyrs led. The path of pain to tread, And die like thee. 2. O gentle patroness Of holy youth, Ask God all those to bless Who love the truth: Oh, guide us on our way Unto th'eternal day, With hearts all pure and gay, Dear Saint, like thine. 3. Look down and hear our pray'r From realms above, Show us thy tender care, Thy guiding love: Oh, keep us in thy sight, Till in th'unclouded light Of Heav'n's pure vision bright We dwell with thee.
