1	It is no earthly summer's ray That sheds this golden brightness 'round, Crowning with heav'nly light the day The princes of the Church were crowned.
2	The blessed seer to whom was giv'n The hearts of men to teach and school, And he that keeps the keys of heav'n, Reserved for those that own his rule.
3	Fathers of mighty Rome, whose word Shall pass the doom of life or death, By humble cross and bleeding sword, Well have they won their laurel wreath.
