Yesterday, with exultation
Author: John Mason Neale; Adam of St. Victor Hymnal: Hymns of the Eastern Church (5th ed.) #E1 (1866) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics:
Yesterday, with exultation
Joined the world in celebration
Of her promised Saviour’s birth:
Yesterday the Angel nation
Poured the strains of jubilation
O’er the Monarch born on earth.
But today, o’er death victorious,
By his faith and actions glorious,
By his miracles renowned,
Dared the Deacon Protomartyr
Earthly life for Heav’n to barter,
Faithful midst the faithless found.
Forward, champion, in thy quarrel!
Certain of a certain laurel,
Holy Stephen, persevere!
Perjured witnesses confounding,
Satan’s Synagogue astounding
By thy doctrine true and clear.
Lo! in Heav’n thy Witness liveth;
Bright and faithful proof He giveth
Of His Martyr’s full success:
Thou by name a Crown impliest;
Meetly then in pangs thou diest
For the Crown of Righteousness!
For a crown that fadeth never,
Bear the torturer’s brief endeavour,
Victory waits to end the strife.
Death shall be thy birth’s beginning,
And life’s losing be the winning
Of a true and better life.
Whom the HOLY GHOST endueth,
Whom celestial light imbueth,
Stephen penetrates the skies:
There GOD’s fullest glory viewing,
There his victor strength renewing,
For his near reward he sighs.
See, as Jewish foes invade thee,
See, how JESUS stands to aid thee:
Stands, to guard His champion’s death!
Cry that opened Heav’n is shown thee:
Cry that JESUS waits to own thee:
Cry it with thy latest breath!
As the dying Martyr kneeleth,
For his murderers he appealeth,
And his prayer their pardon sealeth,
For their madness grieving sore;
Then to CHRIST he sleepeth sweetly,
Who His pattern kept completely,
And with CHRIST he reigneth meetly,
Martyr first-fruits, evermore!

Youth cut down in the Flower of Age
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns, selected from sundry poets #XIV (1791) First Line: Behold the youth with ruddy cheeks Lyrics: Behold the youth with ruddy cheeks,
With sparkling eyes and ruby lips,
Doth flourish like some fragrant rose,
Or flower which in the garden grows:
His lovely features all appear,
With comely brow, and curled hair;
With ivory teeth and snowy skin,
Compleatly built in every limb;
His flesh exceeds the softest silk,
Whose his breasts are full of milk,
And all his bones are moist with marrow,
He knows no grief, no pain or sorrow,
In gifts of nature shining bright,
Who is his parents' chief delight;
His charming beauty they admire,
And dress him up in rich attire;
But suddenly the Lord is pleas'd,
By some acute or strong disease,
To touch the stem this flower is on,
And all his glory soon is gone:
His cheeks grow wan, his lips are pale,
By swift degrees his nature fails;
His fluent tongue is parched dry,
Alas! the lovely youth must die.
His parents by his bed do stand,
With weeping eyes do wring their hands,
To see him gasp his vital breath,
Into the hands of cruel death.
His precious soul in darkness gropes,
Can give no reason of his hopes;
But with a sad and mournful cry,
He leaps into eternity.
His costly garbs are laid aside,
Which did promote his youth
A muffler and a winding sheet
Must dress his body now asleep
No comfort he can now afford,
Alas! he's gone like Jonah's gourd;
And has receiv'd his fatal doom
And interr'd in his rotting tomb.

Youth and judgment
Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.XC (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise Lyrics: 1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise,
And thro' all nature rove
Fulfil the wishes of their eyes,
And taste the joys they love.
2 They give a loose to wild desires;
But let the sinners know,
The strict account that God requires
Of all the works they do.
3 The judge prepares his throne on high,
The frighted earth and seas
Avoid the fury of his eye,
And flee before his face.
4 How shall I bear that dreadful day,
And stand the fi'ry test?
I give all mortal joys away,
To be for ever blest.
