"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571
I am a presbyter in the diocese of Fort Worth, Texas (Anglican Church in North America). I serve as Chaplain at St. Vincent's School and as a canon of St. Vincent's Cathedral Church in Bedford, Texas. In addition to my parish duties and teaching Religion classes in the school I am also the Middle School Social Studies teacher.
Don't be surprised if the lyrics of this hymn appear on my next religion exam for your interpretation! (Especially you sixth graders ... hint, hint.)

Wow!!!
This is a time I wish I was back in school. I wish some of my teachers had had us discussing hymn lyrics (and I went to a Church school!!).
How does the translation compare to the original source?
