Another year completed 
Another year completed, the day comes round once more which our patron's radiance is bright as heretofore. Now, strong in hope, united his festival we greet; he will present our troubles before the mercy seat. 
The Scriptures tell how Moses did for the people pray, appeased the Judge eternal, and turned his wrath away; Elijah's prayer had power, to close and open heaven: such saints as were aforetime, such saints to us are given. 
O Saint of God, beloved, and placed on his right hand, thy prayers be like a rampart as 'gainst the foe we stand; for Abraham's God is thy God, and Isaac's God is thine, thine is the God of Jacob, the Lord of power benign. 
For forty years his Israel he fed with angels' food; the flinty rock he opened the streams of water flowed. Entreat that Christ his people may lead to victory: the God of Joshua's triumph the Lord thy God is he. 
For a patronal festival.
