Invicte Martyr Unicum is an anonymous 10th century hymn. It is sung at Lauds in the Common of One Martyr of the Roman Breviary.

INVICTE MARTYR UNICUM

1. Invicte Martyr, unicum
Patris secutus Filium,
Victis triumphas hostibus,
Victor fruens coelestibus.

2. Tui precatus munere
Nostrum reatum dilue,
Arcens mali contagium,
Vitae repellens taedium.

3. Soluta sunt jam vincula
Tui sacrati corporis:
Nos solve vinclis sseculi,
Dono superni Numinis.

4. Deo Patri sit gloria,
Ejusque soli Filio,
Cum Spiritu Paraclito,
Nunc, et per omne saeculum. Amen
