- Hark! a herald voice is sounding,
“Christ is nigh!” It seems to say;
“Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day!”
- Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ her sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
- Lo! the Lamb so long expected,
Come with pardon down from heaven;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiven.
- So when next he comes with glory,
shrouding all the earth in fear,
may he then as our defender,
On the clouds of heaven appear.
- Honour, glory, virtue, merit,
To the father and the Son,
With the co-eternal Spirit,
While eternal ages run.
