531. St. Stephen's Day Hymn

I actually had a tune in mind while starting to write this hymn ... and then I departed from it and wrote something that wouldn't have fit the melody. So, once again, I'm wide open as to what tune to pair with this text, written with today's feast of Stephen in mind (and no King Wenceslaus).

Move, Holy Spirit, men to speak
Wise words and bold, the lost to seek.
Speak words of life that we may live;
Convict our conscience and forgive.
Unstop our ears; unclose our eyes
To Him who earthly pow'r defies.

Lo, men may scream and gnash their teeth,
May try God's two-edged sword to sheath
With crosses, stones and fiery brands;
And yet the Word forever stands
Whose faithful witness, sown in blood,
Shall sprout and grow to fruited bud.

In ages past, few prophets ran
But were abused by faithless man.
For Stephen, Peter, even Paul,
In Jesus' name our spirits call:
Bless them who run, speak, suffer, die,
And gather us to them on high.
