Patristic Quote for the Day

This is He whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful Word.
Now He shines the long-expected;
Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore.

--Aurelius Prudentius Clemens (348-c. 413)
LSB #384, st. 3

Wow, I didn't realize Prudentius wrote that. It's become my favorite Christmas hymn of late.
