Meek sufferers ! in the burning pile, Or torn by savage teeth they smile ; In maddening rage the torturer stands, And brutal weapons arm his hands. 130 STERNA CHRISTI MUNERA. Bare hang the mangled limbs, and wide Pours every wound its sacred tide ; Yet all untouched amidst the strife, The grace of an immortal life. The faith that fires the saintly still, The yearning hope no doubt can kill, The perfect love of Christ, the Lord, Has triumphed o'er the foeman's sword. In them the Father's glory s...hone ; In them Christ's lowly will is done ; In them exults the Holy Ghost, And smiles with joy the heavenly host. Redeemer, grant Thy servants' prayer ; Grant us Thy holy cross to bear, And in the noble army found, With palms of endless life be crowned. ST. AMBROSE. 1860. O! GENS BEATA CCELITUM. HAPPY ones of heavenly race ! -Bright phalanx of the holy powers What overflowing fulness showers Upon you from the Fount of Grace ! The Highest Lord, His solace best Hath given to you, ye spirits blest : Vision of our eternal rest.
