Author: John Athelstan Laurie Riley, 1858-1945 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #804 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Saints of God! Lo, Jesu’s people
age to age your glory tell;
in his name for us ye laboured,
now in bless eternal dwell.
2 Twelve poor men, by Christ anointed,
braved the rich, the wise, the great,
all the world counts dear rejecting,
rapt in their apostolate.
3 Thus the earth their death-wounds purchased,
hallowed by the blood therefrom,
on her bosom bore the nations,
laved, illumined — Christendom.
4 On this feast, almighty Father,
may we praise thee with the Son,
evermore his love confessing,
who from both with both is One. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Bartholomew Languages: English Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN
