O Thou Whose All Redeeming Might

O Thou whose all re­deem­ing might

Crowns ev­ery chief in faith’s true fight

On this com­me­mo­ra­tion day

Hear us

good Je­su

while we pray.

In faith­ful strife for Thy dear name

Thy serv­ant earned the saint­ly fame

Which pi­ous hearts with praise rev­ere

In con­stant me­mo­ry year by year.

Earth’s fleet­ing joys he count­ed naught

For high­er

tru­er joys he sought

And now

with an­gels round the Thy throne

Unfading trea­sures are his own.

O grant that we

most gra­cious God

May fol­low in the steps he trod;

And

freed from ev­ery stain of sin

As he hath won may al­so win.

To Thee

O Christ

our lov­ing king

All glo­ry

praise

and thanks we bring;

Whom with the Fa­ther we ad­ore

And Ho­ly Ghost for­ev­er­more.
