"Repent, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Repent, forsake your wickedness of woe;
Look up, look up, the quenched torch burns a star!
"Is risen, is risen; behold, at the right hand
On high sits he of his ascended Lord;
Rejoice, rejoice, for Stephen could not die!
"Comfort ye Ruth; thrice among women she
Lives blesséd, who, from wife to him, became,
Widowed, partaker of his martyrdom!
"Hosanna to the Son of David, Who,
Beheld of Stephen standing in the heavens,
Received His servant's spirit to Himself!
"The Resurrection and the Life is He;
He will not leave this body in its tomb;
Stephen and we shall meet Him in the air.
"Descending with the sound that wakes the dead,
Ten thousand of His saints attending Him,
He comes! He comes! Even so, Lord Jesus, come!
"Salvation, worship, blessing, glory, power,
Forever and forever unto God,
Our God; He never will forsake His own."
Uplifted high in heart, they went away.
