Saints of God! Lo, Jesu’s People

Saints of God! Lo

Je­su’s peo­ple

Age to age your glo­ry tell;

In His name for us ye la­bored

Now in bless eter­nal dwell.

Twelve poor men

by Christ an­oint­ed

Braved the rich

the wise

the great

All the world counts dear re­ject­ing

Rapt in their apos­to­late.

Thus the earth their death-wounds pur­chased

Hallowed by the blood there­from

On her bo­som bore the na­tions

Laved

il­lum­ined—Christ­en­dom.

On this feast

al­migh­ty Fa­ther

May we praise Thee with the Son

Evermore His love con­fess­ing

Who from Both with Both is One.
