Now this one I hate. It seems innacurate, and I hate that. But it is sung -- um -- I forget when. I was going to call up the choir director and ask which service we sing it at, but she has 3 teenage girls and their phone is always busy. Sigh.

When Augustus Ruled

When Augustus ruled alone upon earth
The many kingdoms of men came to end
And when Thou wast made man of the pure Virgin,
The many gods of idolatry were destroyed
The cities of the world passed under one single rule
And the nations came to believe in the sovereign Godhead
The peoples were enrolled by the decree of Caesar
And we the faithful were enrolled in the name of the Godhead
When thou our God was made man
Great is thy mercy
O Lord, glory to Thee.
