lyrics
We write to you brothers what relates to our teacher's fate
Ending the persecution, sealed by his noble death
When his pursuers came, he set supper for them
Until the time to leave, he didn't cease to pray
They marveled at his constancy and age
"Was so much effort made to seize a righteous man?"
-"Swear by the fortune of Lord Caesar,
And repent your ways"
-"It’s unfit to repent righteousness
In the fire without motion, I'll remain
Needlessly bind me with nails
I must be burnt alive”
As the flame blazed
It shaped around our friend
From his body, a sweet odor came
That of smoking frankincense
Sharp dagger in hand
Pierced through came blessed Polycarp's end
A blameless life he led
Crowned and praised in death
-"Swear by the fortune of Lord Caesar,
And repent your ways"
-"It’s unfit to repent righteousness
In the fire without motion, I'll remain
Needlessly bind me with nails
I must be burnt alive”
“Eighty and six years have I served Him,
And He never did me wrong:
How then can I now blaspheme my King,
My Savior?”
