Hail To Courageous Patrick

" Hail to courageous Patrick! " The Christian Irish loudly sang, taking their chant to all Ireland... and that made Milchu very sick! In his veins ran pure blood of Roman nobility; at that brutal era, Druidism was Ireland's religion, and he, the follower of Christ, felt much contention... but armed with determination Patrick fought it fiercely! " Hail to courageous Patrick!" As a saint he never accepted defeat; he was bread and water for the weak... endless fear for the High Priest! " Pagans, you shall not worship neither the Sun nor idols, Christ is your true Lord! " He preached in all villages ignoring any frown from that warrior waving his sword! Would he had never been captured and sold into slavery, all Ireland wouldn't have known liberty; his task was to tend sheep as David, but choose to give his entire soul to God to wipe out idolatry! " Hail to courageous Patrick! " Every man, woman and child shouted without being afraid; they knew that God had sent this holy and kind man to them to teach prayers of fervent faith!
