Glorious Saint whose deeds immortal We extol and magnify, Radiant star, whose rising splendor Set ablaze the orient sky; Oh, how bright today thy shining 'Midst the saints of God on high! |
| 2 |
Beautiful those feet that caried News of God's redemptive plan, Crossing lands and furthest oceans, Bringing peace to fallen man, Herald who with torch uplifted Realms of darkness overran. |
| 3 |
Great thy labors in the vineyard, Great the harvest gathered in, Greater still thy soul's ambition Further continents to win; But God willed thy greatest conquests Should henceforth in heav'n begin. |
| 4 |
Father, my we share thy triumphs, Join thee henceforth in the fight, May our lives be flaming torches, Pure and holy, burning bright, Driving hence the pow'rs of darkness, Leading to eternal light. |
