Iustórum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum mortis. * Visi sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: illi autem sunt in pace.

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die, but they are in peace.


Hymnus

1. 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: 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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.
