Apóstolo das gentes by Joseph Franz Haydn — Lyrics
Que sublime fasto da Igreja,
Em nós desperta gratidão.
De São Paulo o mundo festeja
A portentosa conversão.
A vós, Apóstolo das gentes,
Se eleva o hino de louvor.
Com que zelo proclamastes
O doce nome de Jesus.
Com que amor não vos gloriastes
Do Salvador na santa Cruz.
Desafio lançais ao mundo

About Apóstolo das gentes
Joseph Haydn's Apóstolo das gentes is a sacred unison song in Portuguese. The text celebrates Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, focusing on his conversion and zealous proclamation of Jesus Christ. It praises his unwavering love for the Savior, even amidst trials and opposition. The lyrics express a deep admiration for Saint Paul's fervor and the universal reach of his mission. The song petitions the saint for the grace to love God with similar devotion, hoping for eventual reign in heaven alongside him. This piece offers a devotional reflection on faith, mission, and eternal reward, suitable for liturgical use or as a standalone devotional anthem.
