First of Martyrs, thou whose name Doth thy golden crown proclaim, Not of flowers that fade away Weave we this thy crown today. 2. Bright the stones which bruise thee gleam, Sprinkled with thy life-blood's stream; Stars around thy sainted head Never could such radiance shed. 3. Every wound upon Thy brow Sparkles with unearthly glow; Like an Angel's is thy face Beaming with celestial grace. 4. Oh, how blessed first to be Slain for Him Whose bled for thee; First like Him in dying hour Witness to Almighty power; 5. First to follow where He trod Through the deep Red Sea of blood; First, but in thy footsteps press Saints and Martyrs numberless. 6. Glory to the Father be Glory, Virgin-born, to Thee, Glory to the Holy Ghost, Praised by men and heavenly host. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
