Raise a glass to Saint Patrick lyrics

Raise a glass to St. Patrick

Raise a glass with me

We'll celebrate the patron saint

Who sailed the Irish sea

On the hills of Slemish

A slave became a man

His spirit was unbroken by

Chieftain or by clan

The isle of green was in his soul

He feared no druid's curse

And long will we remember him

In scriptures and in verse

Raise a glass to St. Patrick

Raise a glass with me

We'll celebrate the patron saint

Who sailed the Irish sea

He climbed up to the mountain

And he made this land his home

We celebrate his memory now

Wherever we may roam

He left his footprints on the rock

Of Skerry's windy shore

He walked among us long ago

We'll walk for him once more

Raise a glass to St. Patrick

Raise a glass with me

We'll celebrate the patron saint

Who sailed the Irish sea

For him we wear the Shamrock

In peace and harmony

In Belfast, Sidney or New York

Wherever we may be

He's known by all around the world

Both near and far away

For everyone turns Irish now

On Saint Patrick's Day

Raise a glass to St. Patrick

Raise a glass with me

We'll celebrate the patron saint

Who sailed the Irish sea
