EN 2941 Not by the Martyr’s Death Alone

Matt.10.32

Versi Version 1

1

Not by the martyr’s death alone

The saint his crown in Heav’n has won;

There is a triumph robe on high

For bloodless fields of victory.

2

What though he was not called to feel

The cross, or flame, or torturing wheel,

Yet daily to the world he died;

His flesh, through grace, he crucified.

3

What though nor chains, nor scourges sore,

Nor cruel beasts his members tore,

Enough if perfect love arise

For Christ a grateful sacrifice.

4

Lord, grant us so to Thee to turn

That we through life to die may learn,

And thus, when life’s brief day is o’er,

May live with Thee forevermore.

5

O Fount of sanctity and love,

O perfect Rest of saints above,

All praise, all glory be to Thee

Both now and through eternity.
