Come now, and praise the humble saint
Author: George W. Williams, b. 1922 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #260 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saint Joseph (March 19) Lyrics: 1. Come now, and praise the humble saint
of David's house and line,
the carpenter whose life fulfilled
our gracious God's design.
2. The Architect's high miracles
he saw, and what was done,
the Virgin's spouse, the guardian of
great David's greater Son.
3. For him there was no glory here,
no crown or martyr's fame;
for him there was the patient life
of faith and humble name.
4. But now within the Father's grace
where saints and angels throng,
beside his spouse, before the Son,
he joins the heavenly song. Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' ORDINAL

the herald of the Word, is born;
and faithful hearts shall never fail
with thanks and praise his light to hail.
2. With heavenly message Gabriel came,
that John should be that herald's name,
and with prophetic utterance told
his actions great and manifold.
3. John, still unborn, yet gave aright
his witness to the coming light;
and Christ, the Sun of all the earth,
fulfilled that witness at his birth.
4. His mighty deeds exalt his fame
to greater than a prophet's name;
of woman born shall never be
a greater prophet than was he.
5. To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honor, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally.
