Drawn by thy grace the sons of night,
The Gentile world shall come to thee,
And kings o’er-power’d with heavenly light
Admire thy dazling purity;
Soon as to thee their face they turn,
They shall their royal state forget,
On earth look down with holy scorn,
And lay their crowns at Jesu’s feet.
Drawn by Thy grace the sons of night
