Hymn

O God, the lot, crown, and reward

of your soldiers:

as we sing the praises of the Martyr,

free us from the bond of sin.


For he, reckoning the joys of this world

and the enticing food of deception

as bitter gall,

arrived at the things of heaven.


He ran bravely through his punishments

and bore them manfully,

and, shedding his blood for you,

now possesses eternal gifts.


For this, with suppliant prayer

we entreat you, most merciful One;

in this triumph of the Martyr

forgive your servants their offenses.


Let enduring praise and glory

be to the Father, and to the Son,

and likewise to the Holy Paraclete,

through all eternal ages.

Amen.


℣ The just man shall flourish like a palm tree.

℟ Like the cedar of Lebanon he shall multiply.
