In those days, St Stephen, full of grace and power.
Was doing great wonders and signs.
The first martyr died with prayer.
Beyond all previous confines.

Will, like him, our last words be.
Lord Jesus receive my spirit.
And what then after death will we see.
Irrespective of our merit.

I think of St Stephen’s chapel.
Dedicated by Edward the Third.
The home of the House till the fire’s 1834 appel.
All those historic voices heard.

Now just a hall to walk through.
But every thing finds or not its due.

…….

He was full of grace
Dying he said one prayer
Lord receive spirit
