Hymns of the Early Church / being translations from the poetry of the Latin church, arranged in the order of the Christian year

by John Brownlie

What is filthy, come, renew;

What is parched, with grace bedew;

Heal the wounded in the way.

What is stubborn, gently bend;

To the chilled the life-glow send;

Bring the erring ’neath Thy sway.

V

To the faithful who repose

In the love Thy grace bestows,

Be Thy sevenfold gift alway—
