1. Let us marvel at the story

Of the martyrs, sacrificed,

As like Arethas, we glory

In the cross of Jesus Christ.

Refrain 1:

May the blood of martyrs flowing

Be for us who praise them here

Seed of faith forever growing

and the strength to persevere.

Refrain 2:

Power, honour, glory, blessing

To the Lamb upon the throne!

Let the saints, His truth confessing,

Praise Him, risen Lord alone!

2. With the Lord’s own death united,

Single-heartedly they died,

Like the virgins, lanterns lighted,

Watching for the Crucified.

3. Young and old, with faith unyielding,

Victors over fire and sword,

Banners flying, courage wielding,

Ran to grasp their high reward.

4. Bravely thus the women hurried,

Rushing to their final goal,

For the One who rose, though buried,

Can revive both flesh and soul.

5. They abandoned gold and treasure,

Goods of earth that cannot last,

For the wealth beyond all measure

Kept for those whose faith holds fast.

6. May the church, destroyed by burning,

Killing all who stood inside,

Rise anew, a vine returning,

Pruned and fed and sanctified.

7. May the’Arabian martyrs praying,

Be a wall to save this land.

As they spent their lives obeying

Let us follow Your command.

8. Be it thus in every nation.

Let fidelity arise!

Clothed in garments of salvation,

Straining forward to the prize.

9. Be it thus in every nation.

Let fidelity arise!

Clothed in garments of salvation,

Straining forward to the prize.
