    Rex glorióse Mártyrum,

    Coróna confiténtium,

    Qui respuéntes térrea

    Perdúcis ad cæléstia:


    Aurem benígnam prótinus

    Appóne nostris vócibus:

    Trophǽa sacra pángimus:

    Ignósce quod delíquimus.


    Tu vincis in Martýribus,

    Parcéndo Confessóribus:

    Tu vince nostra crímina,

    Donándo indulgéntiam.


    Deo Patri sit glória,

    Ejúsque soli Fílio,

    Cum Spíritu Paráclito,

    Et nunc et in perpétuum. Amen.

    O glorious King of martyr hosts,

    Thou crown that each confessor boasts,

    Who leadest to celestial day

    Those who have cast earth's joys away:


    Thine ear in mercy, Saviour, lend,

    While unto thee our prayers ascend;

    And as we count their triumphs won,

    Forgive the sins that we have done.


    Martyrs in thee their triumphs gain,

    From thee confessors grace obtain;

    O'ercome in us the lust of sin,

    That we thy pardoning love may win.


    To thee who, dead, again dost live,

    All glory, Lord, thy people give;

    All glory, as is ever meet,

    To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.
