St Aidan
A-$<^>rise, >^~ye <^Christ-i-an <^>~peo-<^ples/ and "let us praise" the ^won-^drous ^~Ai-<^dan,/1
a $<^>hier->^~arch <^ who was bles-<^>sed ^by <^God/ he was a ^tire-^less ^hus-^band-<^man/1
 of ^the <^>vine->^~yard <^of the <^>Ho-^ly <^Church/ 
and with cries of ^ju-^bil-^~a-<^tion//1
 let $<^>us >^~de-<^clare be-fore <^>all ~na-<^tions>/
 that he is our fer-vent ^in-^ter-^~ces-<^sor/4 be-fore the ^throne ^of ^the >^~~~<~Lord ^of <^Lords/1
O $<^>Lin->^~dis-<^farne thou <^>Ho-^ly <^Isle/
 washed ev-er-^~~last-^ing-<^ly/1
 by ^the <^>waves >^of ^the <^sea as thou <^>didst ^be-<^hold/
 the spi-rit-ual ^~strug-^gles ^and <^feats/1
 of ^the <^>ho->^~ly <^hier-<^>arch ^Aid-<^an/
 thy ve-ry ^stones ^bear ^~wit-<^ness/1
 to ^the <^>glo->^~ry <^he hath <^>won ^with <^Christ/4
 Where-fore, "as thou art ex-al-ted" a-^bove ^the tides raise ^us >^~up ^~to< ^~praise <^him/1
$<^>Kings >^~and <^no-bles <^>hon-^oured <^thee/ but "thou gav-est their gifts" un-^to ^the ^poor ^in <^Christ/1
 there-$<^>by >^~<show-^ing thy-<^>self ^to <^be/
 a "mo-del of Chris-tian vir-tue" and ^~~cha-^ri-<^ty/1
 where-$<^>fore >^thou ^hast <^been crowned in the <^>~hea-^vens/4
 by "the right hand of the" Al-^migh-^ty ^O >^~glor-^i-^ous <^~Ai-<^dan/#
Sidelined psalmtones because we don't know which ones will happen
/5 For with the Lord there is mercy  and with Him is || plenteous  redemption and He shall re-deem Is-ra-el // out ^of ^~~~all <^~~>his ^~in-<^i-^qui<^ties/
