I have heard how Christians long ago
                                        
                                        Were brought before a tyrant's throne
                                        
                                        And they were told that he would spare their lives
                                        
                                        If they would renounce the Name of Christ
                                        
                                        But one by one they chose to die
                                        
                                        The Son of God they would not deny
                                        
                                        Like a great angelic choir sings
                                        
                                        I can almost hear their voices ring
