Deus Tuorum Militum

Italian original Cite

"DEUS TUORUM MILITUM." - Hymn of Vespers of the common of one martyr, written toward the end of the 6th century.

The Christian martyr, a despiser of earthly joys and a lover of heavenly ones, for which he preferred torments and shed his blood, is celebrated in a colorless and feeble manner. The first stanza is a prayer to God for the forgiveness of sins, a theme that is reworked also in the fourth.
