How lovely it is to get together
In love our Lord teaches us
When two meet in My name together
I’ll always be in between their gather

Slaughtered in Libya)2
Justified by the blood
Reward them O my Lord Jesus

O sweetest warm bosom
Your love for us is sufficient
It is my joy and comfort)2

The blood of mantled martyrs)2
Clothe them with beauty

You freed me, while I was captive)2

me with You)2

And enjoy seeing You)2
