A Stanza for St. Lucy

St. Lucy, Virgin and Martyr (December 13)

may be sung as intermediate stanza for LSB 517 “By All Your Saints in Warfare”

Saint Lucy, chaste in body, this honor her renown;

Was faithful unto death and received her glorious crown

For she refused her torturers by faith’s virginity,

So lighten Thou our darkness, in faithfulness to Thee.
