  1. Old Irish Prayers - A Prayer for the Holy Souls

    Share Share Post
    1.
    O Jesus pity those poor souls
    Who burn in cleansing fire
    To soon behold you face to face
    Is now their one desire
    They cannot help themselves today
    And so they seek our aid
    That their admittance to your heart
    Be not Too long delayed
    2.
    Hear then our prayers for them
    Those souls
    Are to you very dear
    Our relatives perhaps or friends
    Who once were with us here
    Now suffering in devouring flames
    They long for sweet release
    Oh Jesus grant those Holy Souls
    Eternal rest and peace.
