Hymn Text
1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding;
"Christ is nigh," it seems to say,
"Cast away the works of darkness,
O ye children of the day."
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ, her sun, all ill dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heav'n;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiv'n.
4 So, when next he comes in glory,
And the world is wrapped in fear,
With his mercy may he shield us,
And with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might,and blessing
Be to God: the Father, Son
With the everlasting Spirit,
While eternal ages run.
