Worthy deeds they wrought, and wonders, Worthy of the name they bore; We, with joyful praise and singing, Honor them for evermore. 2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Loving Christ with single heart, Thus they, glorious and victorious, Bravely bore the martyr's part, By contempt of ev'ry anguish, By unyielding battle done; Victors at the last, they triumph, With the host of angels one. 3 Therefore, all that reign in glory, Faithful heirs with Christ on high, Join to ours your supplication When before Christ we draw nigh, Praying that, this life completed, All its fleeting moments past, By Christ's grace we may be worthy Of eternal bliss at last.
