for all Thy saints at rest,
To Thee, O blessed Jesus,
all praises be addressed.
Thou Lord, didst win the battle
that they might conquerors be;
Their crowns of living glory
are lit with rays from Thee.
[Insert here the stanza for the special Saint's Day to be celebrated]
St. Andrew:
2 Praise, Lord, for Thine apostle,

The very Christ to see.

watch we throughout the year,
Forward to lead our brethren
to own Thine Advent near.
St. Thomas:
3 All praise for Thine apostle,
whose short-lived doubtings prove
Thy perfect twofold nature,
the fullness of Thy love.
On all who wait Thy coming
shed forth Thy peace, O Lord,
And grant us faitn to know Thee,
true man, true God, adored.
St. Stephen:
4 Praise for the first of martyrs
who saw Thee ready stand,
To aid in midst of torments,

On earth the faithful witness,
in heaven the martyr crown.
St. John the Evangelist:
5 Praise for the loved disciple,
exile on Patmos' shore;
Praise for the faithful record,
he to Thy Godhead bore,
Praise for the mystic vision
through him to us revealed.
May we, in patience waiting,
with Thine elect be sealed.
The Holy Innocents:
6 Praise for Thine infant martyrs,
by Thee with tenderest love
Called early from the warfare
to share the rest above.
O Rachel! cease thy weeping:
they rest from pains and cares.
Lord, grant us hearts as guileless,
and crowns as bright as theirs.
The Conversion of St. Paul:
7 Praise for the light from heaven,
praise for the voice of awe,
Praise for the glorious vision
the persecutor saw.
Thee Lord, for his conversion,
We glorify to-day;
So lighten all our darkness,
with Thy true Spirit's ray.
St. Matthias:
8 Lord, Thine abiding presence
directs the wondrous choice;
For one in place of Judas
the faithful now rejoice.
Thy Church from false apostles
for evermore defend,
And by Thy parting promise,
be with her to the end.
St. Mark:
9 For him, O Lord, we praise Thee,
the weak by grace made strong,
Whose labors and whose Gospel
Enrich our triumph-song.

find strength in Thee supplied,
And all, as faithful branches,
In Thee, the Vine, abide.
St. Philip and St. James:
10 All praise for Thine apostle,
blest guide to Greek and Jew,
And him surnamed Thy brother;
Keep us Thy brethren true,
And grant us grace to know Thee,
the Way, the truth, the Life,
To wrestle with temptations
till victors in the strife.
St. Barnabas:
11 The Son of Consolation,
moved by Thy law of love
Forsaking earthly treasures,

let gifts of grace descend,
That Thy true consolations
may through the world extend.
St. John the Baptist:
12 We praise Thee for the Baptist,
forerunner of the Word,
Our true Elias making
A highway for the Lord.

Make us the rather blessèd,
who love Thy glorious day.
St. Peter:
13 Praise for Thy great apostle
so eager and so bold;
Thrice falling, yet repentant,
thrice charged to keep Thy fold.
Lord, make Thy pastors faithful
to guard their flocks from ill,
And grant them dauntless courage,
with humble, earnest will.
St. James:
14 For him, O Lord, we praise Thee,
who, slain by Herod's sword,
Drank of Thy cup of suffering
fulfilling thus Thy word.
Curb we all vain impatience
to read Thy veiled decree,
And count it joy to suffer,
if so brought nearer Thee.
St. Bartholomew:
15 All praise for Thine apostle,
the faithful, pure, and true
Whom underneath the fig tree
Thine eye all-seeing knew.
Like him, may we be guileless,
true Israelites indeed,
That Thy abiding presence
Our longing souls may feed.
St. Matthew:
16 Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel
Thy human life declared,
Who, worldly gains forsaking,
Thy path of suffering shared.
From all unrighteous mammon,
oh, give us hearts set free,
That we, whate'er our calling,
may rise and follow Thee.
St. Luke:
17 For that "beloved physician,"
all praise, whose Gospel shows
The healer of the nations,
the sharer of our woes.
Thy wine and oil, O Saviour,
On bruised hearts deign to pour,
And with true balm of Gilead
anoint us evermore.
St. Simon and St. Jude:
18 Praise, Lord, for Thine apostles,
who sealed their faith to-day,
One love, one zeal impelled them
to tread the sacred way,
May we with zeal as earnest
the faith of Christ maintain,
And, bound in love as brethren,
at length Thy rest attain.
General ending:
19 Apostles, prophets, martyrs,
and all the sacred throng
Who wear the spotless raiment,
who raise the ceaseless song;
For these, passed on before us,
Saviour, we Thee adore,
And, walking in their footsteps,
would serve Thee more and more.
20 Then praise we God the Father,
and praise we God the Son,
And God the Holy Spirit,
eternal Three in One;
Till all the ransomed number
fall down before Thy throne,
And honor, power, and glory
ascribe to God alone.
Amen.

Samuel Sebastian Wesley
1810 - 1876 Person Name: Samuel S. Wesley Composer of "[From all Thy saints in warfare]" in The Lutheran Hymnary Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.

Henry Thomas Smart
1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Smart Composer of "LANCASHIRE" in Church Hymnal Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known).
Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861).

Ralph Vaughan Williams
1872 - 1958 Person Name: Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958 Arranger of "KING'S LYNN" in Lutheran Service Book Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrangements of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).
