Exile For The Faith, An

An exile for the faith,

Of His incarnate Lord,

Beyond the stars, beyond all space,

His soul in vision soared.

There saw in glory Him

Who liveth, and was dead,

There Judah's Lion, and the Lamb

That for our ransom bled.

There of the Kingdom learned

The mysteries sublime;

How, sown in martyrs' blood, the faith

Should spread from clime to clime.

Lord, give us grace, like him,

In Thee to live and die;

To spurn the fleeting things of earth,

And seek for joys on high.

Jesu, our risen Lord,

We praise Thee and adore,

Who art with God the Father One

And Spirit evermore.
