St. Hilary of Poitiers

Hilary was born at Poitiers early in the fourth century, became bishop of his native city about 350, and died in the later 360s. His feast day gives its name to Hilary Term.

John Brownlie's notes say that four Latin hymns are attributed to him. One of them, the morning hymn Jam meta noctis transiit, is given here in Brownlie's English version of 1896.
