Sweet Flowerets of the Martyr Band

Author: Aurelius Prudentius; Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6413 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Sweet flowerets of the martyr band, So early plucked by cruel hand; Like rosebuds by a tempest torn, As breaks the light of summer morn. 2. First victims offered for the Lord, Ye little knew your high reward, As, at the very altar, gay With palms and crowns ye seemed to play. 3. Ah! what availed King Herod’s wrath? He could not stay your Savior’s path; The Child he sought alone went free; That Child is King eternally. 4. O Lord, the virgin born, to Thee Praise, honor, might and glory be, Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVETE FLORES

Sweet Flowerets of the Martyr Band

Author: Aurelius Prudentius Clemens, 348-413; Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #188 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Sweet flow'rets of the martyr band Lyrics: 1 Sweet flow'rets of the martyr band, Plucked by the tyrant's ruthless hand Upon the threshold of the morn, Like rosebuds by a tempest torn; 2 First victims for th'incarnate Lord, A tender flock to feel the sword; Beside the altar's ruddy ray, With palm and crown, you seemed to play. 3 Ah, what availed King Herod's wrath? He could not stop the Savior's path. Alone, while others murdered lay, In safety Christ is borne away. 4 O Lord, the virgin-born, we sing Eternal praise to you, our King, Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Spirit evermore.
