Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs

Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: All Saints Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs, Holy women, holy men, With the mem'ry of their witness Greet we your return again. Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders, Worthy of the name they bore; We, our joyful praises singing, Honor them forevermore. 2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Loving Christ with single heart, Thus they, glorious and victorious, Bravely bore the martyr's part, By contempt of ev'ry anguish, By unyielding battle done; Victors at the last, they triumph, With the host of angels one. 3 Therefore, you co-heirs of glory, All who dwell with Christ on high, Join to ours your supplication When before Christ 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.

Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay, From his own fulness, all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on When we shall be for ever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
