O Rock of the Church,
leader of God’s people
to whom the Father has revealed
the divinity of His Son
and on whom the Son has therefore
built His Church,
giving you the keys to the kingdom,
the power to bind and loose
both on earth and in Heaven,
that the ship you steer
might conquer all Satan’s power
by the power of the Spirit
with which you serve your brothers,
secure in the blessed protection
and guidance of the Lord –
pray the Church you do yet lead
shall fulfill the call
the Christ has placed
upon every soul
and that we shall come to our heavenly home
in the light of the Messiah.
Pray we shall indeed be strong
and give faithful witness to our Savior.
