POPE JOHN PAUL
ON HIS VISIT TO IRELAND
ADDRESSING THE ONE MILLION PEOPLE IN THE PHOENIX PARK———–
I heard him call
The million crowd
As they were hushed
Without a sound
And listening childlike
Two each word
That seemed to come
From far above
His path was hard
His road was long
Yet we would follow
With this song
He spoke of truth
But truth is hard
For only truth can give
You guard
So hushed the crowd
So silent be
As he called
to you
And me
