The Hymn

Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding

by Unknown Author
Latin, c. 900
Romans 13:11

Stanza 1
Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness,
All you children of the day!"

Stanza 2
Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ its sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.

Stanza 3
See, the Lamb, so long expected, 
Comes with pardon down from heaven.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiven;

Stanza 4
So, when next he comes in glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He will shield us with his mercy
And with words of love draw near.

Stanza 5
Honor, glory, might, dominion
To the Father and the Son
With the everlasting Spirit
While eternal ages run!
