Hearken to the anthem glorious by William Henry Monk — Lyrics
Hearken to the anthem glorious
of the martyrs robed in white;
they, like Christ, in death victorious
dwell for ever in the light.
Living, they proclaimed salvation,
heavenendowed with grace and power;
and they died in imitation
of their Savior’s final hour.
