Thus through everlasting days.

In the new and revised edition of Church Hymns, there is a translation by the Rev. R. M. Moorsom of an anonymous Syriac hymn, which is one of two placed under the heading, ‘The National Church.’

His the glory, His the honour,

High and low, recount His praise;

Tell it out among the nations,

How the Christ in ancient days

Left His home, His Father’s side,

Sought, and found, and won His Bride.

In the far-off land He found her,

And she gave to Him her heart,
