For your servants and your bishops,God, this day our thanks we bring.
Timothy and Titus, teachers
Of your word: their praise we sing.
In the church's youngest days
They were faithful to your ways;
With Saint Paul the gospel preaching,
Each day saw them new souls reaching.
With such witnesses surrounded,
Let us run in faith our race
That, with Jesus as our leader,
Buoyed up with Spirit's grace
We may reach our heav'nly goal,
True in body and in soul.
Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit!
We are saved through Jesus' merit!
