Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-13 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, honour 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 every 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.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:4-10 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 became 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 or ventures new, may we not cease to look to you: the cross you hung upon, all you endeavored, done.
