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

I

Lo, the day, the day approacheth

When the just shall rest in peace,

When the patient souls shall triumph,

And the vile from troubling cease.

II

Day of life, who can abide it?

Day of light, unseen before;

Death, the fell destroyer, dieth,

Night and darkness are no more.
