Are There Hymns for Sts. Peter and Paul Together
-
Does anyone know of in English honoring both St. Peter and St. Paul in the same hymn?
Aside from translations of the office hymns "Aurea luce", Felix per omnes", "Apostolorum passio" and "O Roma felix", all I know of is a stanza of "By all your saints still striving" ("We praise you for Saint Peter; we praise you for Saint Paul"). Can someone suggest others?
Thanks! -

Will look in my collection of Hymnals later...Thanked by 1FKulash -
The only English hymn I can think of that honors both SS. Peter and Paul is "It Is No Earthly Summer's Ray," a translation of Decora lux aeternitatis auream. It can be found in the various editions of St. Basil's Hymnal.
