1 For the Apostle's glorious company,
Who, bearing fort the Cross o'er land and sea,
Shook all the mighty world, we sing to Thee,
Alleluia.

2 For the Evangelists, by whose blest word,
Like fourfold streams, the garden of the Lord
Is fair and fruitful, be Thy name adored.
Alleluia.

3 For Martyrs, who, with rapture-kindled eye,
Saw the bright crown descending from the sky,
And died to grasp it, Thee we glorify.
Alleluia.
