O Thou whose all re­deem­ing might
Crowns ev­ery chief in faith’s true fight,
On this com­me­mo­ra­tion day
Hear us, good Je­su, while we pray.

In faith­ful strife for Thy dear name
Thy ser­vant earned the saint­ly fame,
Which pi­ous hearts with praise re­vere
In con­stant me­mo­ry year by year.

Earth’s fleet­ing joys he count­ed naught,
For high­er, tru­er joys he sought,
And now, with an­gels round the Thy throne,
Unfading trea­sures are his own.

O grant that we, most gra­cious God,
May fol­low in the steps he trod;
And, freed from ev­ery stain of sin,
As he hath won may al­so win.

To Thee, O Christ, our lov­ing king,
All glo­ry, praise, and thanks we bring;
Whom with the Fa­ther we adore
And Ho­ly Ghost for­ev­er­more.
