Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Saint of God, elect and precious 
Saint of God, elect and precious, protomartyr Stephen, bright with thy love of amplest measure, shining round thee like a light; who to God commendest, dying, them that did thee all despite. 
Glitters now the crown above thee, figured in thy honored name: O that we, who truly love thee, may have portion in the same; Ii the dreadful day of judgment fearing neither sin nor shame. 
Laud to God, and might, and honor, who with flowers of rosy dye crowned thy forehead, and hath placed thee in the starry throne on high: he direct us, he protect us, from death's sting eternally.
