Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12 Lyrics: 1 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!"
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, our sun, all sloth dispelling,
shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
comes with pardon down from heaven;
let us all, with deep repentance,
pray that we may be forgiven,
4 that when next he comes with glory,
and the world is wrapped in fear,
with his mercy he may shield us,
and with words of love draw near.

to the Father and the Son,
with the everlasting Spirit,

Hark, a Herald Voice Is Sounding
Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long;
let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a song.
2 On him the Spirit largely poured
exerts its sacred fire;
Wisdom and might and zeal and love
his holy breast inspire.
3 He comes the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
4 He comes the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
5 His silver trumpets publish loud
the jubilee of the Lord,
our debts are all remitted now,
our heritage restored.
6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
your welcome shall proclaim,
and heaven's exalted arches ring
with your beloved name.

‘Tis the call of God to every land;
Repent ye, repent ye, repent ye!

Do we own His claim and revere His name,
And observe His holy day? [Refrain]

Are we pure in heart, doing all our part
To fulfill the Saviour’s will? [Refrain]

In our words, our works, our ways?
Are we quite content with the blessings sent,
Giving God alone the praise? [Refrain]

Undefiled by sin, I am pure within,
And I need no cleansing blood?” [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Have our hearts grown cold since the days of old?]

That God a man should be;
In servant's form the Lord was found,
To make us S\servants free.
2 Our father lov'd us worms so well,
He put our nature on,
And thus became Immanuel,
The Father and the Son.

For Adam's ruin'd race;
We see the God shine thro' the man,
In dear Imman'el's face.

Our constant peace with God:
Our sins aton'd for by his pains,
His sorrow and his blood. Topics: The Incarnation of Christ; or, God manifest in Flesh
Jehovah who should come
