O Lord, for James, we praise You,
Who fell to Herod's sword;
He drank Your cup of suff'ring
And thus fulfilled Your word.
Lord, curb our vain impatience
For glory and for fame,
Equip us for such sufferings
As glorify Your name.
LSB 518:21
"For silent James, the holy martyr whose blood speaks boldly of the defeat of death, all glory to You, Lord Jesus!" (Celebrating the Saints).
O gracious God, Your servant and apostle James was the first among the Twelve to suffer martyrdom for the name of Jesus Christ. Pour out upon the leaders of Your Church that spirit of self-denying service that they may forsake all false and passing allurements and follow Christ alone, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
