<p>The hymn for conquering martyrs raise,<br>
|
|
The victor innocents we praise,<br>
|
|
Whom in their woe earth cast away,<br>
|
|
But heav’n with joy received today;<br>
|
|
Whose angels see the Father’s face<br>
|
|
World without end, and hymn His grace;<br>
|
|
And while they chant unceasing lays,<br>
|
|
The hymn for conquering martyrs raise.
|
|
<p>A voice from Ramah was there sent,<br>
|
|
A voice of weeping and lament,<br>
|
|
When Rachel mourned the children’s care<br>
|
|
Whom for the tyrant’s sword she bare.<br>
|
|
Triumphal is their glory now,<br>
|
|
Whom earthly torments could not bow,<br>
|
|
What time, both far and near that went,<br>
|
|
A voice from Ramah there was sent.</p>
|
|
<p>Fear not, O little flock and blest,<br>
|
|
The lion that your life opprest!<br>
|
|
To heavenly pastures ever new<br>
|
|
The heavenly Shepherd leadeth you;<br>
|
|
Who, dwelling now on Zion’s hill,<br>
|
|
The Lamb’s dear footsteps follow still;<br>
|
|
By tyrant there no more distrest,<br>
|
|
Fear not, O little flock and blest.</p>
|
|
<p>And every tear is wiped away<br>
|
|
By your dear Father’s hands for ay;<br>
|
|
Death hath no power to hurt you more,<br>
|
|
Whose own is life’s eternal store.<br>
|
|
Who sow their seed, and sowing weep,<br>
|
|
In everlasting joy shall reap,<br>
|
|
What time they shine in heavenly day,<br>
|
|
And every tear is wiped away.</p>
|
|
<p>O city blest o’er all the earth,<br>
|
|
Who gloriest in the Savior’s birth,<br>
|
|
Who are His earliest martyrs dear,<br>
|
|
By kindred and by triumph here;<br>
|
|
None from henceforth may call thee small,<br>
|
|
Of rival towns thou passest all:<br>
|
|
In whom our Monarch had His birth,<br>
|
|
O city blest o’er all the earth!</p>
