MEDIÆVAL HYMNS.
Victims were offered by the Law of old,
That, in a type, celestial mysteries told.
He, Ransomer from death, and Light from shade,
Giveth His holy grace His Saints to aid.
Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the safeguard of salvation here.
He That in this world rules His Saints, and shields,
To all believers Life Eternal yields:
With Heavenly Bread makes them that hunger whole;
Gives Living Waters to the thirsty soul.
Alpha and Omega, to Whom shall bow
All nations at the Doom, is with us now.
