<p>From all Thy saints in warfare, for all Thy saints at rest,<br>
|
|
To Thee, O blessèd Jesus, all praises be addressed;<br>
|
|
Thou, Lord, didst win the battle, that they might conquerors be;<br>
|
|
Their crowns of living glory are lit with rays from Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise, Lord, for Thine apostle, the first to welcome Thee,<br>
|
|
The first to lead his brother the very Christ to see.<br>
|
|
With hearts for Thee made ready, watch we throughout the year,<br>
|
|
Forward to lead our brethren to own Thine Advent near.</p>
|
|
<p>All praise for Thine apostle, whose short lived doubtings prove<br>
|
|
Thy perfect twofold nature, the fullness of Thy love.<br>
|
|
On all who wait Thy coming shed forth Thy peace, O Lord,<br>
|
|
And grant us faith to know Thee, true Man, true God, adored.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise for the first of martyrs, who saw Thee ready stand<br>
|
|
To aid in midst of torments, to plead at God’s right hand.<br>
|
|
Share we with him, if summoned by death our Lord to own,<br>
|
|
On earth the faithful witness, in heaven the martyr’s crown.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise for the loved disciple, exiled on Patmos’ shore;<br>
|
|
Praise for the faithful record he to Thy Godhead bore,<br>
|
|
Praise for the mystic vision through him to us revealed.<br>
|
|
May we, in patience waiting, with Thine elect be sealed.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise for Thine infant martyrs, by Thee with tenderest love<br>
|
|
Called early from the warfare to share the rest above.<br>
|
|
O Rachel! cease thy weeping: they rest from pains and cares.<br>
|
|
Lord, grant us hearts as guileless and crowns as bright as theirs.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise for the light from heaven, praise for the voice of awe,<br>
|
|
Praise for the glorious vision the persecutor saw.<br>
|
|
Thee, Lord, for his conversion, we glorify today;<br>
|
|
So lighten all our darkness with Thy true Spirit’s ray.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, Thine abiding presence directs the wondrous choice<br>
|
|
For one in place of Judas the faithful now rejoice.<br>
|
|
Thy Church from false apostles forevermore defend,<br>
|
|
And by Thy parting promise be with her to the end.</p>
|
|
<p>For him, O Lord, we praise Thee, the weak by grace made strong,<br>
|
|
Whose labors and whose Gospel enrich our triumph song.<br>
|
|
May we in all our weakness find strength from Thee supplied,<br>
|
|
And all, as fruitful branches, in Thee, the Vine, abide.</p>
|
|
<p>All praise for Thine apostle, blest guide to Greek and Jew,<br>
|
|
And him surnamed Thy brother; keep us Thy brethren true,<br>
|
|
And grant us grace to know Thee, the Way, the Truth, the Life;<br>
|
|
To wrestle with temptations still victors in the strife.</p>
|
|
<p>The son of consolation, moved by Thy law of love,<br>
|
|
Forsaking earthly treasures, sought riches from above.<br>
|
|
As earth now teems with increase, let gifts of grace descend,<br>
|
|
That Thy true consolations may through the world extend.</p>
|
|
<p>We praise Thee for the Baptist, forerunner of the Word,<br>
|
|
Our true Elias, making a highway for the Lord.<br>
|
|
Of prophets last and greatest, we saw Thy dawning ray:<br>
|
|
Make us the rather blessèd who love Thy glorious day.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise for thy great apostle, the eager and the bold;<br>
|
|
Thrice falling, yet repentant, thrice charged to keep Thy fold.<br>
|
|
Lord, make Thy pastors faithful to guard their flocks from ill,<br>
|
|
And grant them dauntless courage, with humble, earnest will.</p>
|
|
<p>For him, O Lord, we praise Thee, who, slain by Herod’s sword<br>
|
|
Drank of Thy cup of suffering, fulfilling thus Thy word.<br>
|
|
Curb we all vain impatience to read Thy veiled decree,<br>
|
|
And count it joy to suffer, if so brought nearer Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>All praise for Thine apostle, the faithful, pure, and true,<br>
|
|
Whom underneath the fig tree Thine eye all seeing knew.<br>
|
|
Like him may we be guileless, true Israelites indeed,<br>
|
|
That Thy abiding presence our longing souls may feed.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise, Lord, for Him Whose Gospel Thy human life declared,<br>
|
|
Who, worldly gains forsaking, Thy path of suffering shared.<br>
|
|
From all unrighteous Gammon O give us hearts set free,<br>
|
|
That we, whate’er our calling, may rise and follow Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>For that “beloved Physician,” all praise, whose Gospel shows<br>
|
|
The Healer of the nations, The Sharer of our woes.<br>
|
|
Thy wine and oil, O Savior, and bruised hearts deign to pour,<br>
|
|
And with true balm of Gilead anoint us evermore.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise, Lord, for Thine apostles, who sealed their faith today:<br>
|
|
One love, one zeal impelled them to tread the sacred way.<br>
|
|
May we with zeal as earnest the faith of Christ maintain,<br>
|
|
And, bound in love as brethren, at length Thy rest attain.</p>
|
|
<p>Apostles, prophets, martyrs, and all the sacred throng,<br>
|
|
Who wear the spotless raiment, who raise the ceaseless song,<br>
|
|
For these, passed on before us, Savior, we Thee adore,<br>
|
|
And, walking in their footsteps, would serve Thee more and more.</p>
|
|
<p>Then praise we God the Father, and praise we God the Son,<br>
|
|
And God the Holy Spirit, eternal Three in One;<br>
|
|
Till all the ransomed number fall down before the throne,<br>
|
|
And honor, power, and glory, ascribe to God alone.</p>
