Sweet Flowerets Of The Martyr Band – Hymn Lyric
Sweet flow’rets of the martyr band,
Plucked by the tyrant’s ruthless hand
Upon the threshold of the morn,
Like rosebuds by a tempest torn;
First victims for th’incarnate Lord,
A tender flock to feel the sword;
Beside the altar’s ruddy ray,
With palm and crown, you seemed to play.
Ah, what availed King Herod’s wrath?
He could not stop the Savior’s path.
Alone, while others murdered lay,
In safety Christ is borne away.
O Lord, the virgin-born, we sing
Eternal praise to you, our King,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit evermore.
