BOSCO ANTHEM

 

In the village of Becchi in the town of Chieri,

Our Father and Founder was born in Italy,

At the age of just two he lost his father dear,

But Margaret his mother was present with him near.

Hand in hand we walk with you Don Bosco,

You are the Golden Man.

Fifty years of grace have passed Don Bosco,

It’s your work which has fulfilled Gods plan.

 

In your dream you did see Jesus and Mary,

With kindness they said mold the youngsters you will meet.

With the HAIL MARY you did begin your oratory,

The first of your pupils Bartholomew Garelli.

You began your congregation with followers so few,

And sent many others to places obscure and new.

Today your followers are spread throughout the world,

Carrying out your mission your dream at nine unfold.
