1 Brightly did the light divine
from his words and actions shine,
whom the twelve, with love unblamed,
'Son of Consolation,' named.
2 Full of peace and lively joy
sped he on his high employ,
by his mild exhorting word
adding many to the Lord.
3 Blessèd Spirit, who didst call
Barnabas and holy Paul,
and didst them with gifts endue,
mighty words and wisdom true,
4 Grant us, Lord of life, to be
by their pattern full of thee;
that beside them we may stand
in that day on Christ’s right hand.
