They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; of whom the world was not worthy."

BLESSED feasts of blessed martyrs, so they passen in de thi to reser

Holy men, With affection's recollections

Till they death Earth's rejected, God's elected,

Greet we your return again. Worthy deeds they wrought and won­ders,

Gained a portion with the blest. By contempt of worldly pleasures, And by deeds of valour done, They have reached the land of Angels, And with them are knit in one.

Worthy of the Name they bore; We with meetest praise and sweetest Honour them for evermore. Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,

JESUS loved with single heart­Thus they glorious and victorious Bravely bore the Martyr's part. Racked with torture, haled to slaughter, Fire, and axe, and murd'rous sword, Chains and prison, foes' derision They endured for CHRIST the LORD.

Made co- heirs with CHRIST in glory, His celestial bliss they share; May they now before Him bending Help us onward by their prayer; That, this weary life completed, And its fleeting trials past, We may win eternal glory

In our FATHER's home at last. M 2 Amen
