1. Saint of God, elect and precious,/ Protomartyr Stephen, bright/ With thy love of amplest measure,/ Shining round thee like a light;/ Who to God commendedst, dying,/ Them that did thee all despite:
2. Glitters now the crown above thee,/ Figured in thy sacred name:/ O that we, who truly love thee,/ May have portion in the same;/ In the dreadful day of judgement/ Fearing neither sin nor shame.
3. Laud to God, and might, and honour,/ Who with flowers of rosy dye/ Crowned thy forehead, and hath placed thee/ In the starry throne on high:/ He direct us, he protect us/ From death's sting eternally./ Amen.
Words: Anonymous, paraphrase of "Sancte Dei pretiose". Music: Samuel Webbe. Keyboard: Michael-Hubert Lamla
