Abandon'd to outrageous men,
A martyr'd saint appears;
A victim in the sight Divine,
Who freely would his life resign,
To save his murderers.
They vow he shall no longer live,
His friends can no assistance give;
But when his Saviour wills,
A Pagan sent to interpose
Rescues the Christian from his foes,
And the decree fulfils.
His friends can no assistance give;
But when his Saviour wills,
A Pagan sent to interpose
Rescues the Christian from his foes,
And the decree fulfils.
