O God, of Thy soldiers + 

the Portion and Crown, + 

Spare sinners who hymn + 

the praise of the Blest; + 

Earth’s bitter joys, + 

its lures and its frown, + 

He scann’d them and scorn’d, + 

and so is at rest. + 

Thy Martyr he ran + 

all valiantly o’er + 

A highway of blood + 

for the prize Thou hast given. + 

We kneel at Thy feet, + 

and meekly implore, + 

That our pardon may wait + 

on his triumph in heaven. + 

Honour and praise + 

To the Father and Son + 

And the Spirit be done + 

Now and always. Amen. + 
