Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Of the Father's Heart Begotten or alternately known as Of the Father's Love Begotten is a Christmas carol. The text is by Roman poet Aurelius Prudentius, from his Liber Cathemerinon, hymn no. IX, beginning "Da puer plectrum," which includes the Latin stanzas listed below. There are two translations commonly sung today, one by Roby Furley Davis, and another by John Mason Neale and Henry W. Baker. Neale's original translation began "Of the Father sole begotten," in his Hymnal Noted (London, 1851), and contained only six stanzas. It was Neale's music editor, Thomas Helmore, who paired this hymn with the Latin plainchant Divinum Mysterium. Neale's translation was later edited and extended by Henry W. Baker for Hymns Ancient and Modern (London, 1861).
