It's title is "The Hunter" by Pieter Breughel the elder. They are often used to illustrate the Little Ice Age, such as this winter scene from his series on the seasons. Thanks for watching.
There are some differences, but nothing major. "All in the people's sight" instead of "before the people's sight" etc. Saint Stephen was a holy man Endued with heavenly might, And many wonders he did work Before the people's sight; And by the blessed Spirit of God, Which did his heart inflame, He spared not, in every place, To preach God's holy name. Chorus (repeated after each verse): O man, do never faint nor fear, When God the truth shall try; But mark how Stephen, for Christ's sake, Was willing for to die. Before the elders he was brought, His answers for to make, But they could not the spirit withstand Whereby this man did speak. While this was told, the multitude Beholding him aright, His comely face began to shine Most like some angel bright. Then Stephen did put forth his voice, And he did first unfold The wond'rous works which God had wrought Even for their fathers old; That they thereby might plainly know Christ Jesus should here be That from the burden of the law Should quit us frank and free. But, oh! quoth he, you wicked men, Which of the prophets all Did not your fathers persecute, And keep in woeful thrall? But when I heard him so to say, Upon him they all ran, And there without the city gates They stoned this holy man. There he most meekly on his knees To God did pray at large Desiring that He would not lay This sin unto their charge; Then yielding up his soul to God, Who had it dearly bought, He lost his life, and his body then To the grave was seemly brought.
Beautiful video!

Saint Stephen was a holy man
Endued with heavenly might,
And many wonders he did work
Before the people's sight;
And by the blessed Spirit of God,
Which did his heart inflame,
He spared not, in every place,
To preach God's holy name.
Chorus (repeated after each verse):
O man, do never faint nor fear,
When God the truth shall try;
But mark how Stephen, for Christ's sake,
Was willing for to die.
Before the elders he was brought,
His answers for to make,
But they could not the spirit withstand
Whereby this man did speak.
While this was told, the multitude
Beholding him aright,
His comely face began to shine
Most like some angel bright.
Then Stephen did put forth his voice,
And he did first unfold
The wond'rous works which God had wrought
Even for their fathers old;
That they thereby might plainly know
Christ Jesus should here be
That from the burden of the law
Should quit us frank and free.
But, oh! quoth he, you wicked men,
Which of the prophets all
Did not your fathers persecute,
And keep in woeful thrall?
But when I heard him so to say,
Upon him they all ran,
And there without the city gates
They stoned this holy man.
There he most meekly on his knees
To God did pray at large
Desiring that He would not lay
This sin unto their charge;
Then yielding up his soul to God,
Who had it dearly bought,
He lost his life, and his body then
To the grave was seemly brought.
