St. Clement of Alexandria
CONCLUSION
Since the Pedagogue brought us into the church and united us with Himself, it is quite natural that we should bring praise and gratitude to this Teacher, the all-seeing Logos, the Lord, every time we are here. People who are well-bred should do this perfectly and decently.
Hymn to Christ the Savior
A bridle for foolish foals,
The wing of birds in flight that do not wander,
Strong ships were fed,
Shepherd of the king's lambs!
Your simple
Gather the children
To glorify sacredly,
Sing ingenuously
Through innocent lips
Christ the Child-Guide.
King of saints,
O Logos, Giver of Humility,
To the wisdom of the Father Most High Guide,
In the works of the Support,
Eternal Joy of Life,
Of mortal race
Saviour, Jesus,
Shepherd, Plowman,
Feeding, bridling,
The heavenly wing of the holy flock!
Fisher of men,
Rescued
From the sea of wickedness!
Clean fish
From the wave of hostility
to a sweet life!
Lead us, sheep
Shepherd of the prudent!
Holy King, lead
Thy immaculate children,
By the paths of Christ,
By the way of heaven!
O Eternal Word!
O infinite Eternity!
O Eternal Light!
The Fountain of Mercy,
A co-worker of virtue,
Life is impeccable
Those who glorify God! O Christ Jesus!
