Verse 1
Flung to the heedless winds (Acts 8:4)
Or on the waters cast
The martyr’s ashes, watched
Shall gathered be at last (Rev. 20:13)
And from that scattered dust (Ezek. 37:1-10)
Around us and abroad
Shall spring a plenteous seed (John 12:24)
Of witnesses for God (Heb. 12:1)
Verse 2
The Father hath received
Their latest living breath (Acts 7:59)
And vain is Satan’s boast
Of victory in their death
Still, still, though dead, they speak (Heb. 11:4)
And trumpet-tongued, proclaim
To many a wakening land
The one availing name (Acts 4:12, Phil. 2:9-11)
