O God, Thy Soldiers’ Crown and Guard (EN 61)

EN 61 O God, Thy Soldiers’ Crown and Guard

Gen.15.1

Versi Version 1

1

O God, Thy soldiers’ crown and guard,

And their exceeding great reward;

From all transgressions set us free,

Who sing Thy martyr’s victory.

2

The pleasures of the world he spurned,

From sin’s pernicious lures he turned;

He knew their joys imbued with gall,

And thus he reached Thy heavenly hall.

3

For Thee through many a woe he ran,

In many a fight he played the man;

For Thee his blood he dared to pour,

And thence hath joy forevermore.

4

We therefore pray Thee, full of love,

Regard us from Thy throne above;

On this Thy martyr’s triumph day,

Wash every stain of sin away.

5

O Christ, most loving King, to Thee,

With God the Father, glory be;

Like glory, as is ever meet,

To God the holy Paraclete.
