Edward Caswall was born in 1814, at Yately, in Hampshire, where his father was a clergyman. In 1832, he went to Brasenose College, Oxford, and in 1836, took a second-class in classics. His humorous work, "The Art of Pluck," was published in 1835; it is still selling at Oxford, having passed through many editions. In 1838, he was ordained Deacon, and in 1839, Priest. He became perpetural Curate of Stratford-sub-Castle in 1840. In 1841, he resigned his incumbency and visited Ireland. In 1847, he joined the Church of Rome. In 1850, he was admitted into the Congregation of the Oratory at Birmingham, where he has since remained. He has published several works in prose and poetry. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872… Go to person page >

Notes

Now at the Lamb's high royal feast. By E. Caswall, in his Lyra Catholica, 1849, p. 94, and again in his Hymns and Poems, 1873, p. 53, in 7 stanzas of 4 lines. This is the translation usually found in Roman Catholic hymn-books. An altered form of this in 4 stanzas is No. 52 in the Irvingite Hymns for the Use of the Churches, 1864, beginning "Guests at the banquet of the Lamb."
[A translation of Ad regias Agni dapes.]
