St. Stephen's Day.

HE Son of God goes forth to war,

A kingly crown to gain: His blood- red banner streams afar! Who follows in His train?

Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain,

Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train!

The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save.

Like Him, with pardon on his tongue

In midst of mortal pain,

He pray'd for them that did the wrong! Who follows in his train?
