Egregie Doctor Paule mores instrue
Translated by Edward Caswall (1849) · From Lyra Catholica (1849)
Lead us, great teacher Paul, in wisdom’s ways,
And lift our hearts with thine to Heaven’s high throne;
Till Faith beholds the clear meridian blaze,
And sunlike in the soul reigns Charity alone.
Praise, blessing, majesty, through endless days,
Be to the Trinity immortal given;
Who in pure Unity profoundly sways
Eternally all things alike in earth and Heaven.
