We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

When the Morning Stars Together

A Song of Wisdom (Sapientia liberavit): Canticle A (metrical paraphrase)

Wisdom freed a holy people,
blameless from oppressors’ sword,
and withstood, with signs and wonders,
rulers dread to serve the Lord.
Giving them reward of labors,
led the saints along her way,
she was blaze of stars in darkness
and a shelter through the day.
