e/Of the Father's Heart Begotten

Information
has gloss	eng: Of the Fathers Heart Begotten or alternately known as Of the Fathers 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. Neales original translation began "Of the Father sole begotten," in his Hymnal Noted (London, 1851), and contained only six stanzas. It was Neales 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; below).
