(Sung to the melody of Dear Guardian of Mary—St. Basil’s Hymnal)
Apostle of Jesus
A martyr-saint of old
The cousin of our Saviour
Of whom, they love hath told
A writer of the scriptures
With tongues of fire aflame.
The worker great of wonders
In Jesus Holy Name
The worker great of wonders,
In Jesus Holy Name.
St. Jude, tho oft forgotten
Thou shalt remembered be
We hail thee now in glory
And have recourse to thee
For help, for the despairing
When hopeless seems the task
And from the Heart of Jesus
Thru thee we favors ask
And from the Heart of Jesus
Thru thee we favors ask.
We’ve sung our prayer of pleading
To thee St. Jude the blest
For hearts in sorrow bleeding
That sorely are distressed;
With thine our prayers are blending
And hope our hearts doth fill
On thee St. Jude depending
Resigned to Heaven’s will.
On thee St. Jude depending
Resigned to Heaven’s will.
