O thou, whose all-redeeming might crowns
every saint in glory bright, on this commemoration day hear us, good Jesu,
while we pray. Contending for thy holy name thy servants earned their saintly
fame, which pious hearts with praise revere in constant memory year by year.
Earth’s fleeting joys they counted naught, for higher, truer joys they sought,
and now with angels round the throne unfading treasures are their own. O grant
that we, most gracious God, may follow in the steps they trod; and, freed from
every stain of sin, as they have 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 for evermore. Amen.
