The second verse of Lesbia Scott's hymn, I Sing a Song of the Saints of God, says
They loved their Lord so dear, so dear,
and God’s love made them strong;
and they followed the right, for Jesus’ sake,
the whole of their good lives long.
And one was a soldier, and one was a priest,
and one was slain by a fierce wild beast:
and there’s not any reason, no, not the least,
why I shouldn’t be one too.
Jonathan was one such priest, who knew, loved, and served his Lord.
May he rest in peace and inherit the kingdom prepared for him from the creation of the world.
