They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; being destitute, affircted, tormented; of whom the world was not worthy.” ‘ $79 Bee feasts of blesstd martyrs, Holy days of holy men, With affection’s recollections Greet we your return again. Worthy deeds they wrought and wonders, Worthy of the name they bore; We with meetest praise and sweetest Honour them for evermore. Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Jesus loved with single heart— Thus 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 CuristT the Lorp. So they passed through pain and sorrow, Till they sank in death to rest; Earth’s rejected, Gonp’s elected, 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. Made co-heirs with CurisT in glory His celestial bliss they share: May they now before Him bending Help us onward by their prayer; That, this weary life completec, And its fleeting trials past, We may win eternal glory

In our Father’s home at last. Amen,
