O Glorious King of Martyr Hosts

O glo­ri­ous King of mar­tyr hosts

Thou crown that each con­fess­or boasts

Who lead­est to ce­les­tial day

The saints who cast earth’s joys away;

Thine ear in mer­cy

Sav­ior

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 tri­umph gain

Confessors grace from Thee ob­tain;

We sin­ners hum­bly seek to Thee

From sin’s of­fense to set us free.

All laud to God the Fa­ther be

All praise

eter­nal Son

to Thee;

All glo­ry

as is ev­er meet

To God the ho­ly Pa­ra­clete.
