Will You Hear the Martyrs Sing?

(set to the tune of “Do You Hear the People Sing”, from “Les’ Miserables”)

Have you heard the martyrs sing, singing the praises of the Lord
It is the music of a people who have followed Jesus’ Word
By His blood they have been bought
It is by Jesus they’ve endured
Throughout the peoples of the earth they have praised the Lord!

Have you heard the stories of
The martyrs who have bled for Christ
They have died with Jesus’ love
They witnessed by their sacrifice
Now look at them, ready to pay the penultimate price!

Do you hear the martyrs sing, singing the praises of the Lord
It is the music of a people who now follow Jesus’ Word
By His blood they have been bought
It is by Jesus they endure
Throughout the peoples of the earth they now praise the Lord!

Do you pray for those abroad
Who now today might die for Christ
They will walk that lonely road
Today they’ll give their sacrifice
Be ready to go and to die for the glory of Christ!

Will you hear the martyrs sing, singing the praises of the Lord
It is the music of a people who will follow Jesus’ Word
By His blood they have been bought
It is by Jesus they’ll endure
Throughout the peoples of the earth they will praise the Lord!

Go you Christians, go and sing, singing the praises of the Lord
Go now ye out into the earth and spread the message of the Word
By His blood you have been bought
It’s for His glory you endure
Throughout the peoples of the earth tell of Christ the Lord!
