Keble’s 1827 sequence follows the Book of Common Prayer through the church year, with a poem for morning and evening, each Sunday from Advent onward, and the feasts of the saints. The verses meditate on the appointed readings and on nature, childhood and conscience, and several, such as the morning hymn, are still sung in churches.

The devotional book that prepared the ground for the Oxford Movement, cherished by readers of quiet religious verse. Download the free EPUB.
