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

Dost Thou raise Thine infant call,

Glorious Renovator?

Where Thy purple if a King?

Where the shouts Thy subjects bring?

Where Thy royal castle?

Here is want with all her train,

Poverty proclaims her reign—

These Thy court and vassal.

II
