<p>Blessèd feasts of blessèd martyrs,<br>
|
|
Saintly days of saintly men,<br>
|
|
With affection’s recollections<br>
|
|
Greet we your return again.<br>
|
|
Mighty deeds they wrought, and wonders,<br>
|
|
While a frame of flesh they bore;<br>
|
|
We, with meetest praise and sweetest,<br>
|
|
Honor them forevermore.</p>
|
|
<p>Faith unblenching, hope unquenching,<br>
|
|
Well-loved Lord, and single heart,<br>
|
|
Thus they, glorious and victorious,<br>
|
|
Bravely bore the martyr’s part.<br>
|
|
Blood in slaughter poured like water,<br>
|
|
Torments long and heavy chain,<br>
|
|
Flame, and axe, and laceration,<br>
|
|
They endured, and conquered pain.</p>
|
|
<p>While they passed through divers tortures,<br>
|
|
Till they sank by death oppresst,<br>
|
|
Earth’s rejected were elected,<br>
|
|
To have portion with the blest.<br>
|
|
By contempt of worldly pleasures,<br>
|
|
And by mighty battle done;<br>
|
|
Have they merited with angels,<br>
|
|
To be knit for ay in one.</p>
|
|
<p>Wherefore made co-heirs of glory,<br>
|
|
Ye that sit with Christ on high,<br>
|
|
Join to ours your supplication<br>
|
|
As for grace and peace we cry,<br>
|
|
That, this weary life completed,<br>
|
|
And its many labors past,<br>
|
|
We may merit to be seated<br>
|
|
In our Father’s home at last.</p>
