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

See in the east the morn arise;

Seek, wingèd prayer, the glowing skies;

Bring help from Heaven, that all our way

Be pleasing to our God this day.

II

May He restrain from words of sin;

For bitter strife give calm within;

Veil from our eyes the garish light,

That lures the soul to darkest night.
