There Is a Book That All May Read

Representative Text

Text Information

There is a book, who runs may read. J. Keble. [Septuagesima.] Written in 1819, and published in his Christian Year, 1827, as the poem for Septuagesima Sunday, in 12 stanzas of 4 lines. It is in several collections in Great Britain and America, but usually in an abbreviated form. In a few collections it begins with stanza ix., "One Name above all glorious names." The original, which is very beautiful, is based upon the words, "The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made:" Rom. i. 20, with a distinct reference to Gen. i., which is the first Lesson for Septuagesima Sunday Morning. In R. Bingham's Hymnologia Christiana Latina, 1871, stanzas i.-v., xii., as in Hymns Ancient & Modern, are rendered into Latin as "Est liber, atque ilium qui currit perlegat, omnem."

--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
