BOLD Saint, thou firm believer in the Cross, - ZaunköniG - 30.04.2007 BOLD Saint, thou firm believer in the Cross, Again made glorious by self-sacrifice, — Love's free atonement given without love's loss, — That martyrdom to thee was lighter pain, Since thus a race its liberties should gain; Flash its sure consequence in Slavery's eyes When, 'scaping sabre's clash and battle's smoke, She felt the justice of thy master-stroke: Peaceful prosperity around us lies, Freedom with loyalty thy valor gave; Whilst thou, no felon doomed, for gallows fit, O Patriot true! O Christian meek and brave! Throned in the martyrs' seat henceforth shalt sit; Prophet of God! Messias of the Slave! |
