CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA.
The sword which Christ on earth hath sent,
With olive branches twine:
To suffer it with meek content,
But not to wield be thine;
Tho' round thy throne in tumult strong
Thine Alexandrians loudly throng;
So He into its wounds shall pour His oil and wine.
With olive branches twine:
To suffer it with meek content,
But not to wield be thine;
Tho' round thy throne in tumult strong
Thine Alexandrians loudly throng;
So He into its wounds shall pour His oil and wine.
Be thine the keener edge to wield
Of the unfailing Word;
And shelter with the Spirit's shield
The doctrine of the Lord!
Where Ephesus hath guarded well
The mother of Emmanuel,
And from Nestorian leav'n the Church again restor'd.

And from Nestorian leav'n the Church again restor'd.
