Author: Ebenezer Newell, 1853-1916 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #158 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 We praise thy name, all-holy Lord,
For him, the beacon-light
That shone beside our western sea
Through mists of ancient night;
Who sent to Ireland’s fainting Church
New tidings of thy word:
For David, prince of Cambrian saints,
We praise thee, holy Lord.
2 For all the saintly band whose prayers
Still gird our land about,
Of whom, lest men disdain their praise,
The voiceless stones cry out;
Our hills and vales on every hand
Their names and deeds record:
For these, thy ancient hero host,
We praise thee, holy Lord.
3 Grant us but half their burning zeal,
But half their iron faith,
But half their charity of heart,
And fortitude to death;
That we with them and all thy saints
May in thy truth accord,
And ever in tThy holy Church
May praise thee, holy Lord.
