Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
Holy women, holy men,
With our love and admiration,
Greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders,
Worthy of the name they bore;
We, with joyful praise and singing,
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 ev'ry anguish,
By unyielding battle done;
Victors at the last, they triumph
With the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
Strong and sure 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. Topics: Martyrs; Witness Used With Tune: IN BABILONE Text Sources: Latin, 12th C.

Holy wisdom, love most bright,
Drawn by you, our souls aspiring,
Soar to uncreated Light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned,
Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying, 'round your throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hear what peaceful music rings;
Where the flocks in you confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs!
Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure;
You do ever lead your own,
In the love of joys unknown.

Gives His body with the bread,
And with the wine the blood He shed.

To His own this food has given,
Who, to mend what we have done,
Gave into death His only Son.

By the sick who are distressed,
By hearts that long for peace and rest.

And receive My grace and favor:

Need no physician's help or skill.

And your mouth your sin confesses,
You will be your Savior's guest,
Be at His banquet truly blest.

didst make thy triumph over death and sin,
and having harrowed hell, didst bring away
captivity thence captive, us to win:
2 This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin,
and grant that we, for whom thou diddest die,
being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin,
may live for ever in felicity:
3 And that thy love we, weighing worthily,
may likewise love thee for the same again;
and for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy,
with love may one another entertain.
4 So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought,
love is the lesson which the Lord us taught. Topics: Our Response to God in the morning and evening; Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Jesus Resurrection; Sunday Used With Tune: DUNOON

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:1-8 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon--
all you endeavored done.
