First of Martyrs, Thou Whose Name (EN 4649)

EN 4649 First of Martyrs, Thou Whose Name

Acts.22.20

Versi Version 1

1

First of martyrs, thou whose name

Doth thy golden crown proclaim,

Not of flowers that fade away

Weave we this thy crown today.

2

Bright the stones which bruise thee gleam

Sprinkled with thy life blood’s stream;

Stars around thy sainted head

Never could such radiance shed.

3

Every wound upon thy brow

Sparkles with unearthly glow;

Like an angel’s is thy face

Beaming with celestial grace.

4

Oh, how blessed first to be

Slain for Him Who bled for thee;

First like Him in dying hour

Witness to almighty power.

5

First to follow where He trod

Through the deep Red Sea of blood;

First, but in thy footsteps press

Saints and martyrs numberless.

6

Glory to the Father be,

Glory, Virgin Born, to Thee,

Glory to the Holy Ghost,

Praised by men and heavenly host.
