Brilliant star in the Western
sky,
Herald of a calmer,
Christian age –
Absorbing Anthony,
absorbing Moses,
You conveyed the spiritual
riches
Of the Desert Fathers
To poor pagan peoples
Through your well-wrought
rule,
Raised up houses of
holiness
Amongst the idol-plagued,
Bequeathed peace and order
To war-beleaguered nations

Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema
to the Union!
