Hymns and Poems

St. Bede the Venerable

This book is in Latin.

The hymns and poems printed under Bede's name in Migne: the thirteen hymns (on the reckoning of time, the Innocents, the Ascension, St. Agnes, St. John the Baptist, Peter and Paul, the Mother of God, St. Andrew), the poem On the Day of Judgment, and the epigram on St. John and the Apocalypse. The attribution of the hymns, which mix authentic and doubtful pieces, is uncertain. Latin text of Migne; no public-domain English translation of the whole is available (19th-century hymnal versions of single hymns exist).
