    Salvéte, flores Mártyrum, Quos lucis ipso in límine Christi insecútor sústulit, Ceu turbo nascéntes rosas.

    Vos prima Christi víctima, Grex immolatórum tener, Aram ante ipsam símplices Palma et corónis lúditis.

    Glória tibi Dómine, Qui natus es de Vírgine, Cum Patre et almo Spíritu, In sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

    All hail, ye little Martyr flowers, Sweet rosebuds cut in dawning hours! When Herod sought the Christ to find Ye fell as bloom before the wind.

    First victims of the Martyr bands, With crowns and palms in tender hands, Around the very altar, gay And innocent, ye seem to play.

    All honor, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee; All glory, as is ever meet To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.
