The Conversion of St. Paul

So lighten all our darkness with Thy true Spirit's ray.

For one in place of Judas the faithful now rejoice.
Thy Church from false apostles for evermore defend,
And by Thy parting promise be with her to the end.
St. Mark

And all, as fruitful branches, in Thee, the Vine abide.
St. Philip and St. James

To wrestle with temptations till victors in the strife.

As earth now teems with increase, let gifts of grace descend,
That Thy true consolations may through the world extend.

Make us the rather blessed, who love Thy glorious day.
St. Peter
13 Praise for Thy great Apostle, the eager and the bold;
Thrice falling, yet repentant, thrice charged to keep Thy Fold.

And grant them dauntless courage, with humble, earnest will.
St. James
14 For him, O Lord, we praise Thee, who, slain by Herod's sword,
Drank of Thy cup of suffering, fulfilling thus Thy word.

And count it joy to suffer, if so brought nearer Thee.

That Thy abiding presence our longing souls may feed.
St. Matthew
16 Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel Thy human life declared,
Who, worldly gains forsaking, Thy path of suffering shared.

That we, whate'er our calling, may rise and follow Thee.
St. Luke

The Healer of the nations, the Sharer of our woes.
Thy wine and oil, O Saviour, on bruised hearts deign to pour,
And with true balm of Gilead anoint us evermore.
St. Simon and St. Juke
18 Praise, Lord, for Thine Apostles, who sealed their faith to-day:
One love, one zeal impelled them to tread the sacred way.
May we with zeal as earnest the Faith of Christ maintain,
And, bound in love as brethren, at length Thy rest attain.
General Ending
19 Apostles, Prophets, Martyrs, and all the sacred throng,
Who wear the spotless raiment, who raise the ceaseless song;
For these, passed on before us, Saviour, we Thee adore,
And, walking in their footsteps, would serve Thee more and more.
20 Then praise we God the Father, and praise we God the Son,
And God the Holy Spirit, eternal Three in One;
Till all the ransomed number fall down before the throne,
And honour, power, and glory ascribe to God alone.

To aid in midst of torments,
To plead at God's right hand.

In heav'n the martyr crown.

From all thy saints in warfare, for all thy saints at rest,
To thee, O blessed Jesus, all praises be addressed.
Thou, Lord, didst win the battle that they might conquerors be;
Their crowns of living glory are lit with rays from thee.
Praise, Lord, for thine apostle, the first to welcome thee,
The first to lead his brother the very Christ to see.
With hearts for thee made ready, watch we throughout the year,
Forward to lead our brethren to own thine Advent near.
All praise for thine apostle, whose short-lived doubtings prove
Thy perfect twofold nature, the fullness of thy love.
On all who wait thy coming shed forth thy peace, O Lord,
And grant us faith to know thee, true Man, true God, adored.
Praise for the first of martyrs, who saw thee ready stand
To aid in midst of torments, to plead at God's right hand.
Share we with him, if summoned by death our Lord to own,
