Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #238 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Martyrs Lyrics: 1. Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
holy women, holy men,
with affection's recollections
greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds they wrought, and wonders,
worthy of the Name they bore;
we, with meetest praise and sweetest,
honor them for evermore.
2. Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
loving Christ with single heart,
thus they, glorious and victorious,
bravely bore the martyr's part,
by contempt of every anguish,
by unyielding battle done;
victors at the last, they triumph,
with the host of angels one.
3. Therefore, ye that reign in glory,
fellow-heirs with Christ on high,
join to ours your supplication
when before him we draw nigh,
praying that, this life completed,
all its fleeting moments past,
by his grace we may be worthy
of eternal bliss at last.

How oft, O Lord, thy face hath shone
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #242 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saint Thomas (December 21) Lyrics: 1. How oft, O Lord, thy face hath shone
on doubting souls whose wills were true!
Thou Christ of Peter and of John,
thou art the Christ of Thomas too.
2. He loved thee well, and calmly said,
"Come, let us go, and die with him";
yet when thine Easter-news was spread,
mid all its light his eyes were dim.
3. His brethren's word he would not take,
but craved to touch those hands of thine:
when thou didst thine appearance make,
he saw, and hailed his Lord Divine.
4. He saw thee risen; at once he rose
to full belief's unclouded height;
and still through his confession flows
to Christian souls thy life and light.
5. O Savior, make thy presence known
to all who doubt thy Word and thee;
and teach us in that Word alone
to find the truth that sets us free.

drink, and find salvation here.
