St. Robert

Today, as many of us celebrated All Saints Day, some of us remember that Dr Robert Preus died twelve years ago.

Oh, how blest are ye whose toils are ended,
Who through death have unto God ascended!
Ye have arisen
From the cares which keep us still in prison.

Christ has wiped away your tears forever;
Ye have that for which we still endeavor;
To you are chanted
Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted.

  1. My husband was a 4th year, just back from vicarage when Dr. Preus was reinstated and then passed away. He was looking forward to having the opportunity of hearing him teach (he went through during the whole "dark time")

    Thank you for the reminder of that blessed man. I don't think we should ever forget him.
