Sequence. Evangelists.

Adam of St. Victor, c. 1170.
Tr. Jackson Mason.

Plausu chorus laetabundo.

COME sing, ye choirs exultant,
Those messengers of God,
Through whom the living Gospels
Came sounding all abroad!
Whose voice proclaimed salvation
That poured upon the night,
And drove away the shadows,
And flushed the world with light.
