SHSK Hymn.wmv

Glory, honour, praise and blessing, happy hearts and voices bring,
With triumphant hosts of Heaven praise the Incarnate Saviour King
For His grace in holy Katharine, called by Him to be His bride,
For Him facing death and torture, one with Him, the Crucified.
As thy story, blessed Patron, joyfully we sing today,
Valiant martyr, royal maiden, Katharine, for thy children pray.

In her home in Alexandria, maiden Katharine grew to fame,
Known for beauty and for wisdom, high position, noble name;
Diligent in deepest studies, loving books from early youth,
Skilled indeed in earthly science, ignorant of Christian truth.
As thy story, Blessed Patron, joyfully we sing today,
Valiant martyr, royal maiden, Katharine, for thy children pray.

Then in vision Princess Katharine saw the Bridegroom of her choice,
Recognised His claim upon her, knew His will and heard His voice;
Guided by the Holy Spirit, aided by our Lady's prayer,
Sought baptismal grace and cleansing, Christian life and faith to share.
As thy story, Blessed Patron, joyfully we sing today,
Valiant martyr, royal maiden, Katharine, for thy children pray.

Then through divers persecutions Katharine served her Master well,
Fixed her gaze on Christ her Saviour, overcame the powers of hell,
Till upon the wheel of torture, then by cruel swordstroke freed,
Katharine proved her faith victorious and in death found life indeed.
As thy story, Blessed Patron, joyfully we sing today,
Valiant martyr, royal maiden, Katharine, for thy children pray.

May the children of St Katharine, who and where so e'er they be,
Share her faith, her love her vision, courage, hope, and purity.
So may Mary, blessed Mother, who such grace for Katharine won,
Be made glad by Katharine's daughters and present them to her Son.
As thy story, Blessed Patron, joyfully we sing today,
Valiant martyr, royal maiden, Katharine, for thy children pray.

Martyr Katharine, Empress Helen, called in different ways to share
Faith and hope and love that ventures all to give and all to dare;
In these days of evil's challenge, testing fires of gold or dross,
Hold us steadfast in our witness to the meaning of the Cross.
As thy story, Blessed Patron, joyfully we sing today,
Valiant martyr, royal maiden, Katharine, for thy children pray.
