Does anyone know of a song that I can sing with some high schoolers for tommorow’s feast of the Chair of St. Peter?

How about “Long Live the Pope”?
Long Live The Pope
A Hymn for the Pope
Long live the Pope!
His praises sound
Again and yet again:
His rule is over space and time:
His throne the heart of men:
All hail! The Shepherd Pope of Rome,
The theme of loving song:
Let all the earth his glory sing
And heav’n the strain prolong.
Beleaguered by
By the foes of earth,
Beset by hosts of hell,
He guards the loyal flock of Christ,
A watchful sentinel:
And yet, amid the din and strife,
The clash of mace and sword,
He bears alone the Shepherd Staff,
The champion of the Lord.
Then raise the chant,
With heart and voice,
In Church & school & home:
“Long live the Shepherd of the Flock!
Long live the Pope of Rome!”
Almighty Father bless his work,
Protect him in his ways,
Receive his prayer, fulfill his hopes,
And grant him length of days!

There is a song that was Pope John Paul II’s favorite and I can recall the nets and the apostles but man my mind keeps singing I will make you fishers of men and Come to the Feast two songs I sang with the kids today.
The song I am thinking of is in most hymnals. If it comes to me I will post. But I thought if I at least give the idea it may come to someone!

Oh Lord when you came to the seashore
neither searching for the rich nor the wise
desiring only that I may follow
Oh Lord with your eyes set upon me gently smiling
you have spoken my name.
All I long for I have found by the water at your side
I will seek other shores.
Lord take my hands and direct them
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost
Ok sorry I had to get the days songs out of my head first so here it is finally. I hoe it helps.

That song’s title is “Pescador de Hombres”. It’s one of my favorites as well.

BY ALL YOUR SAINTS STILL STRIVING sung to the same tune as ALL GLORY, LAUD, AND HONOR (St. Theodulph, 7 6 7 6 D)
By all your saints still striving,
For all your saints at rest,
Your holy Name, O Jesus,
For evermore be blessed.
You rose, our King victorious,
That they might wear the crown
And ever shine in splendor
Reflected from they throne.
We praise you, Lord, for Peter,
So eager and so bold:
Thrice falling, yet repentant,
Thrice charged to feed your fold.
Lord, make your pastors faithful
To guard your flock from harm
And hold them when they waver
With your almighty arm.
Then let us praise the Father
And worship God the Son
And sing to God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One,
Till all the ransomed number
Who stand before the throne,
Ascribe all pow’r and glory
And praise to God alone.

I think you mean, “Lord, You Have Come to the Seashore” – the mariachi song. JP2 wrote tenderly of it in *Arise, Let Us Be on Our Way. *The original language is Spanish.There is a song that was Pope John Paul II’s favorite and I can recall the nets and the apostles but man my mind keeps singing I will make you fishers of men and Come to the Feast two songs I sang with the kids today.
Pescador de Hombres (Lord You Have Come)
Lord, you have come to the seashore,
neither searching for the rich nor the wise
desiring only that I should follow
refrain:
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my name,
all I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side, I will seek other shores.
Lord, see my goods, my possesions;
in my boat you find no power no wealth.
Will you accept, then, my nets and my labor?
refrain
Lord take my hands and direct them.
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,
returning love for the love you gave me.
refrain
Lord, as I drift on the waters,
be the resting place of my restless heart,
my life’s companion, my friend and refuge.
