ADDITIONAL/ALTERNATE VERSES
May be used for “Apostles and Evangelists” and “Those Called by Christ”

Conversion of St. Paul (January 25) St. Silas (July 13)

When blinded, Saul perceived the light Both Barnabas and Silas served
That only faith can see. That servant of the Lord,
As Paul he preached this word to all: And for their service they received
That faith shall set us free. The cross as their reward.
Ss. Timothy and Titus (January 26) St. Mary Magdalene (July 22)
Both Timothy and Titus shared Into the garden Mary went
The word and work of Paul, To seek the Crucified;
And with him shared the blessing cup But Christ found her and showed himself
That Christ poured out for all. Alive and glorified.
Chair of St. Peter (February 22) St. James (July 25)
Though Peter thrice denied his Christ The Sons of Thunder, James and John,

w
His Christ made him the Rock, Sought glory at Christ’s side,
And Christ appointed him the first But Christ for glory gave a cup,
To feed and love the flock. And humbleness for pride.
St. Mark (April 25) St. Bartholomew (August 24)
John Mark became just Mark and wrote: Bartholomew pursued his Christ
The Kingdom is at hand. To gain both love and life,
Repent, believe and mark the Cross
The Gospel’s first demand.
Ss. Philip and James (May 3)
The eager Philip found the Lord
And called all come and see,
But he, like James, would have to walk
ie And he for Christ in sacrifice
Embraced the martyr’s knife.
St. Nathaniel (August 24)
Nathaniel, guileless as a dove,
Was called to come and see,
And Christ surprised his wonderment
ev
The way of Calvary. With God’s reality.
St. Matthias (May 14) St. Matthew (September 21)
The Twelve for twelve by lot and prayer When Matthew heard his name, he left
The good Matthias chose His world of gold and greed
To preach to all with ears to hear To lose all things and gain that life
That Christ from death arose. That knows no loss nor need.
St. Barnabas (June 11) St. Luke (October 18)
Both Barnabas and Silas served The gentle Luke the Gospel told
That servant of the Lord, For every ear to hear:
Pr

And for their service they received To all the outcast, poor, and weak
The cross as their reward. God’s Kingdom has come near.
Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24) Ss. Simon and Jude (October 28)
John’s father prophesied his son The Zealot Simon burned with zeal
Would tell of sin’s release: But Christ became his fire,
Behold the Lamb of God who comes And Jude, like Simon, learned in death
To guide our ways in peace. That love perfects desire.
Ss. Peter and Paul (June 29) St. Andrew (November 30)
In Rome did Peter find his cross When Andrew asked what could be done
And Paul his two-edged sword. With five loaves and two fish,
By blood and faith the two were joined The Lord Christ took and blessed and broke
In witness to their Lord. And shared it all as gift.
St. Thomas (July 3)
The doubting Thomas placed his hand
Into Christ’s wounded side.
In faith he cried “My Lord and God!”
To Christ, the Crucified.

Author Notes
“Apostles and Evangelists” & “Those Called by Christ”
Those who daily celebrate the Eucharist and Liturgy of the Hours need hymns for feasts, and both
of these hymns were written first of all for those daily celebrations.

The two basic hymns allow an assembly to learn a small amount of music, and the many verses
allow the music to be used for many feasts. The settings by Randall DeBruyn and Craig Kingsbury
take these hymns to a new level of celebration, and at least two possibilities present themselves.

First, these hymns could be used to celebrate the patronal feast day of a parish. In Europe, the feast
of the patron, which often coincided with the dedication of the church, was traditionally marked
with a great celebration both inside and outside the church called “Kermesse” (Church-Mass).

w
One of the hymns might also be used as a kind of “alma mater” which is sung at important parish
events with the appropriate patronal verse.

Secondly, the basic hymn (without special verses) could be used to mark events of call and
discipleship: e.g. baptism, confirmation, the beginning and end of the school year or of religious
education, etc.

ie
“Your Praise, O Lord”
Te Deum Brevis (The Short Te Deum)
ev
The Te Deum is a very early hymn, mentioned already in the Rule of St. Benedict (c. 530 A.D.).
In Benedictine monasteries, it was common to sing the Te Deum on Sundays before or after
reading the Gospel at vigils. During a visit to Blue Cloud Abbey, in South Dakota, which still uses
it each Sunday, Abbot Thomas asked for a short English version of this rather long hymn. The
Latin word for “short, brief” is “brevis”—thus the name: Te Deum Brevis—the “Short Te Deum.”
Still this hymn rather faithfully condenses the first part of that text celebrating the Trinity.

Traditionally the Te Deum is sung on occasions of great joy and thanksgiving: the end of war, the
Pr

election of a pope, the visit of a great person, such as the bishop. As a result, many famous
composers (Vivaldi, Mozart, Verdi, et al.) have settings for this text. Father Tobias’ tune captures
the joyous shout of this confession, and Craig Kingsbury uses trumpets to emphasize the joy.

This arrangement of the Te Deum could be sung to mark a special event in the life of a parish
community or to add a note of praise which is always appropriate.
