Feasts of Blessed Martyrs!

Saintly days of saintly men!

With affection's recollections

Greet we your return again.

Mighty deeds they wrought, and wonders,

While a frame of flesh they bore:

We with meetest praise, and sweetest,

Honour them for evermore.

Faith unblenching, Hope unquenching,

Well-lov'd, and single heart,—

Thus they glorious and victorious

Bore the Martyr's happy part.
