|
<p>Yesterday, with exultation,<br>
|
|
Joined the world in celebration,<br>
|
|
Of her promised Savior’s birth;<br>
|
|
Yesterday the angel nation<br>
|
|
Poured the strains of jubilation<br>
|
|
O’er the Monarch born on earth.</p>
|
|
<p>But today o’er death victorious,<br>
|
|
By his faith and actions glorious,<br>
|
|
By his miracles renowned,<br>
|
|
See the Deacon triumph gaining,<br>
|
|
’Midst the faithless faith sustaining,<br>
|
|
First of holy martyrs found.</p>
|
|
<p>Onward, champion, falter never,<br>
|
|
Sure of sure reward forever,<br>
|
|
Holy Stephen, persevere;<br>
|
|
Perjured witnesses confounding,<br>
|
|
Satan’s synagogues astounding<br>
|
|
By thy doctrine true and clear.</p>
|
|
<p>Thine own Witness is in Heaven,<br>
|
|
True and faithful, to thee given,<br>
|
|
Witness of thy blamelessness;<br>
|
|
By thy name a crown implying,<br>
|
|
Meet it is thou shouldst be dying<br>
|
|
For the crown of righteousness.</p>
|
|
<p>For the crown that fadeth never<br>
|
|
Bear the torturer’s brief endeavor;<br>
|
|
Victory waits to end the strife;<br>
|
|
Death shall be thy life’s beginning,<br>
|
|
And life’s losing be the winning<br>
|
|
Of the true and better life.</p>
|
|
<p>Filled with God’s most Holy Spirit,<br>
|
|
See the Heav’n thou shalt inherit,<br>
|
|
Stephen, gaze into the skies;<br>
|
|
There God’s glory steadfast viewing,<br>
|
|
Thence thy victor strength renewing,<br>
|
|
Pant for thy eternal prize.</p>
|
|
<p>See, as Jewish foes invade thee,<br>
|
|
See how Jesus stands to aid thee,<br>
|
|
Stands at God’s right hand on high:<br>
|
|
Tell how opened heaven is shown thee,<br>
|
|
Tell it with thy latest cry.</p>
|
|
<p>As the dying martyr kneeleth,<br>
|
|
For his murderers he appealeth,<br>
|
|
For their madness grieving sore;<br>
|
|
Then in Christ he sleepeth sweetly,<br>
|
|
And with Christ he reigneth meetly,<br>
|
|
Martyr firstfruits, evermore.</p>
