If you know where to get a good picture of Decius (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),

O Lamb of God most holy,
On Calvary an offering,
Despisèd, meek and lowly,
Thou in Thy death and suffering
Our sins didst bear, our anguish;
The might of death didst vanquish;
Give us Thy peace, O Jesus!
