Living, they proclaimed salvation,
heaven-enthroned with grace and power;
and they died in imitation
of their Saviour's final hour.

Christ, for cruel traitors pleading,
triumphed in his parting breath
o'er all miracles preceding
his inestimable death.

Take from him what ye will give him,
of his fullness grace for grace;
strive to think him, speak him, live him,
till you find him face to face.
