Apostle of Jesus, a martyr-saint of old

The cousin of our Savior, of Whom thy love hath told;

A writer of the scriptures, with tongue of fire aflame,

The worker great of wonders, in Jesus Holy Name

St. Jude, though oft forgotten, thou shalt remembered be,

We hail thee now in glory, and have recourse to thee;

For help for the despairing, when hopeless seems the task,

And from the Heart of Jesus, thru thee we favors ask
