Author: Charles Stanley Phillips, 1883-1949 Meter: 7.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not by far-famed deeds alone
God's kingdom comes to birth;
the memory of countless saints
has perished from the earth.
2 John and Peter, James and Paul,
have left a mighty fame:
another of their company
is nothing but a name.
3 Yet for him no less the call
and gallant course to run;
his too to hear at journey's end
the Master's glad 'Well done!' Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Bartholomew Used With Tune: JERUSALEM (DYKES)
Not by far-famed deeds alone
