The Wingèd Herald of the Day

Author: Aurelius Prudentius, 348-413; John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7495 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The wingèd herald of the day Proclaims the morn’s approaching ray: And Christ the Lord our souls excites, And so to endless life invites. 2. Take up thy bed, to each He cries, Who sick or wrapped in slumber lies; And chaste and just and sober stand And watch: My coming is at hand. 3. With earnest cry, with tearful care, Call we the Lord to hear our prayer; While supplication, pure and deep, Forbids each chastened heart to sleep. 4. Do Thou, O Christ, our slumber wake: Do Thou the chains of darkness break; Purge Thou our former sins away, And in our souls new light display. 5. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

The winged herald of the day

Hymnal: Hymnal #353 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The wingéd herald of the day Proclaims the morn's approaching ray: So Christ the Lord renews His call, To endless life awakening all. 2 "Take up thy bed," to each he cries, Who sick, or wrapp'd in slumber, lies: "Be chaste, and, living soberly, Watch ye, for I the Lord am nigh." 3 With earnest cry, with tearful care, Call we the Lord to hear our prayer; While supplication, pure and deep, Forbids each chastened heart to sleep. 4 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ,Thine only Son; Who, with the Holy ghost and Thee, Shall live and reign eternally.
