They are designed for the various ecclesiastical hours (prime, lauds, matins, terce, mid-day, nones, vespers, com- pline, or midnight), or the several days of the week, and seasons of the Christian year, recalling the events in sacred history which characterise each hour, day, or season. Sunrise and sunset form naturally the prevailing im- ages of the morning and evening hymns. Christ, the Sun of righteousness that never sets, the Light that never fades, in Himself at once Day and Light, is the...ir great theme.

Only a few of them are believed to have been written by St Ambrose himselfl AMBROSIA \ II \ \l\S SUNG BY THE PEOPLE. 89 WhiNt undisguised Paganism still lingered in Christen- dom, and Bibles were scarce and readers rare, there was a beautiful and practical meaning in linking the passing hours with heaven, thus making Time himself read aloud the Gospel history, and converting the seasons of tin year into a kind of pictorial Bible for the poor.
