A hymn for the Pope

Many of us who are my age and older will remember this one. Maybe it’s time to bring it back!
(both now for Benedict and then again for the new Pope, whenever he is chosen)

Long Live The Pope
(A Hymn for the Pope)

Long live the Pope!
His praises sound
Again and yet again:
His rule is over space and time:
His throne the hearts of men:
All hail! The Shepherd Pope of Rome,
The theme of loving song:
Let all the earth his glory sing
And heav’n the strain prolong.

Then raise the chant,
With heart and voice,
In Church & school & home:
“Long live the Shepherd of the Flock!
Long live the Pope of Rome!”
Almighty Father bless his work,
Protect him in his ways,
Receive his prayer, fulfill his hopes,
And grant him length of days!
