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

Is lingering in the glow of morn,

And night and darkness fade away—

O Holy Light, our souls adorn!

III

To God the Father throned in heaven,

To Christ the One Begotten Son,

And to the Spirit praise be given,

Now, and while endless ages run.

O PATER SANCTE, MITIS ATQUE PIE
