1 What thanks and praise to thee we owe,
Eternal God and Word Divine,
for Luke, thy saint, through whom we know
so many gracious words of thine.

2 O happy saint! His sacred page,
so rich in words of truth and love,
pours on the church from age to age
the healing unction from above.

3 Historian of the Saviour's life,
the great apostle's chosen friend,
through weary years of toil and strife
and still found faithful to the end.

4 So grant us, Lord, like him to live,
beloved on earth, approved by thee,
till thou at last the summons give,
and we, with him, thy face shall see.
