O
glorious saint, who chose to die
Instead of denying your King.
We pray you please to help us
As His fair praise we sing!
Instead of denying your King.
We pray you please to help us
As His fair praise we sing!
We lift
our hearts in joyous son
To honor Him this way,
And while we sing, remembering,
To sing is to doubly pray.
To honor Him this way,
And while we sing, remembering,
To sing is to doubly pray.
At once
in our hearts and in our tongues
We offer double prayer
Sent heavenward on winged notes
To praise God dwelling there.
We offer double prayer
Sent heavenward on winged notes
To praise God dwelling there.
While
in our hearts and tongues we try
With song to praise God twice,
We ask dear saint, to help us be
United closed to Christ!
We ask dear saint, to help us be
United closed to Christ!
