   In pious institutions our good priest did us uphold.
   And well he done his duty by instructing young and old.
   For to love one God alone and Him for to adore
   But those kind words we never will hear from Fr. Lynch no more.

   Alas! he is gone and time rolls on but yet there can be seen.
   The noble works that he has done still keep his memory green
   A holy church he did erect in fame and high renown.
   To his memory shines that Holy shrine in grand old Davidstown.

   Alas! within its sacred walls no more we all hear his voice
   That gladsome tone which bid all hearts young and old rejoice.
   That noble heart has ceased to beat
