[Who lately shed the martyrs' blood]
They watched...day and night to kill him.
—ix. 24.
Who lately shed the martyrs' blood
Is now himself to death pursued,
By day and night beset;
But Christ he confidently knows
Will rescue him from all his foes,
And break the hellish net.
Is now himself to death pursued,
By day and night beset;
But Christ he confidently knows
Will rescue him from all his foes,
And break the hellish net.
Yet conscious of his Lord's design,
He will not human means decline
The threaten'd death to flee;
To ways most humbling he submits,
And by a basket's help defeats
The dire conspiracy.
He will not human means decline
The threaten'd death to flee;
To ways most humbling he submits,
And by a basket's help defeats
