Eia, Martyr Stephane
Pray for us, we pray to thee.
To this martyr praise be given,
Qui triumphavit hodie,
And did gain the bliss of heaven,
Dono coelestis gratiae.
Stoned he was with stones great,
Fervore gentis impiae.
Then saw he Christ for thine enemies,
O martyr invictissime!
Then pray for us that high Justice
Ut nos purget a crimine. Amen.
