Saint John Nepomunk Neumann

Praise our loving, gracious God

Who has called us each by name

And has chosen shepherds true,

Unimpressed by gain or fame;

These have nurtured all God's fold

And the gospel true have told.

Praise for John, God's bishop sure,

Teaching, preaching in our land;

Founding churches, building schools,

Trusting in God's gracious hand;

Learning tongues that all might hear

God's redeeming love so dear.

Glory to the Father give,

And to Christ the Lord, God's Son,

And to Spirit, Paraclete:

Ever blessèd Three-in-One!

With John Neumann, crowned with light,

Let our praise reach heaven's height.
