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

IV

Purge Thou our flesh from every stain,

Let not dull sloth our hearts depress;

Nor let the sense of guilt remain,

To chill the warmth our souls possess.

V

To Thee, Redeemer blest, we pray,

That in our souls Thy light may shine;

So we shall walk from day to day,

Unerring in Thy way Divine.
