1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding:
"Christ is nigh!" it seems to say;
"Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day!"
"Christ is nigh!" it seems to say;
"Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise:
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
Let the earth-bound soul arise:
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heaven.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiven.
Comes with pardon down from heaven.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiven.
