Acts 7:58: Canst thou, O Saul, believe

Canst thou, O Saul, believe
While wet with Stephen's blood
Thou shalt thyself his lot receive,
A confessor of God?
Stoned for thy Saviour's sake,
Whom now thou dost blaspheme
Shalt thou at last his death partake
And yield thy soul to Him?

Now are ye join'd in love,
In bonds of lasting peace:
Stephen and Saul are friends above,
Where pain and sorrow cease;
Rank'd with the saints in light
Who death by death subdued,
Who wash'd their robes, and made them white
Through the Redeemer's blood.
