Ye high born Sons of Fire!

All Joy, yet all Desire.

Till for its King, Heaven did set ope
Its everlasting Gate.

Who brought that early Ray,
Which from our Sun reflected came,
And made a glorious Day.

How weak, pale Death, are all thy Darts
Conpair'd to those of Love.

Who wisely fixt your Hearts above,
And burnt with heavenly Fire.

About the sparkling Throne of Live
And there for ever sing.

We humbly sing beneath. Languages: English

William Birchley
1613 - 1669 Person Name: John Austin Author of "Hail, glorious Angels, heirs of light" in Hymns Pseudonym used by John Austin
=====================
Austin, John. (Walpole, Norfolk, England, 1613--1669, London). Roman Catholic. He studied at Cambridge University, but withdrew when he became a Catholic. His writings under the pseudonym William Birchley sought to explain the beliefs of Roman Catholicism and to plead for religious freedom for them. He compiled a harmony of the Gospels and, in 1668, a devotional manual containing hymns, some of which he may have written himself. An adaptation of this manual for use in the Church of England was published in 1686.

John Austin, born 1613, Walpole, Norfolk; died 1669, London was a Catholic author who wrote under the pseudonym William Birchley.
Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal, 1908
=====================
Austin, John, born at Walpole, Norfolk, and educated at St. John's, Cambridge (cr. 1640). He became a Roman Catholic, entered Lincoln's Inn to study for the Bar: subsequently became a tutor, and finally devoted himself to literature. Died in London, 1669. His works include The Christian Moderator, Reflections upon the Oaths of Supremacy, and:—
Devotions in the Antient Way of Offices Containing Exercises for every day in the Week. 1668. This last work, through which Austin is associated with hymnody, attained a 2nd ed. in 1672,3rd ed. 1684, and two 4th eds. 1685. (A second part, consisting of a Harmony of the Gospels, was also published, and is of excessive rarity. A third, according to Anthony a Wood, existed in MS.) It was a Roman Catholic Manual, and contained 43 hymns, 39 of which are in the first edition, and those added in the third edition are perhaps by the editor. A few of these were renderings from the Latin by R. Crashaw, altered and adapted by Austin. In 1686 it was adapted for members of the Church of England by Theophilus Dorrington, and again in 1687 by the Lady Susanna Hopton under the editorship of George Hickes, afterwards a Nonjuring Bishop. Of the 5th ed., 1717, of the last adaptation, a reprint was published by Masters in 1856. [William T. Brooke]
