ZEAL FOR DE SAVIO

Born in Riva near Chieri,

For none were you fiery.

Farmer and a blacksmith was your father,

Death preferred more than sin by you rather.

Jesus and Mary were your friends,

Through confession your heart you did mend.

I am the cloth and you are the tailor,

Help me to travel with Jesus and become a good sailor.

 Swearing and taking God’s name in vain,

To you it was a very big stain.

Help me to follow Jesus our Lord,

And do His will by following His accord.
