Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #133 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
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.
4 So, when next He comes with glory,
Wrapping all the earth in fear,
With His mercy He may shield us,
And with words of love draw near. Topics: Advent Languages: English
