Beate Martyr, prospera.

Prudentius, b. 348. Tr. A. R.

BLEST Martyr, let thy triumph-day
God’s favouring grace to us convey;
The day on which thy life-blood flowed
And he thy crown in meed bestowed.

2 Thy soul to heavenly mansions sped
While this world’s gloomy shadows fled;
The judge and torturer o'erthrown,
Christ claimed the victor for his own.

3 Now consort of the Angels bright
Thou shinest clothed in robes of white;
Robes thou hast washed in streams of blood,
A dauntless Martyr for thy God.

4 Be thou on this thy holy-day
Our strong upholder; while we pray
That from our guilt we may be freed,
Stand thou before the throne and plead.

5 All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.
