Author: Anon. Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding:
"Christ is nigh," we hear it say;
"Cast away the works of darkness,
O ye children of the day!"
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
All the powers of darkness vanish;
Christ, our Day-star, mounts the 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 shines with glory,
Wrapping all the earth in fear,
Not for chastening, but salvation
Unto us He shall appear.
5 Honor, glory, might, dominion,
To the Father and the Son,
With the everlasting Spirit,
While eternal ages run. Topics: The Church Year Second Sunday in Advent; The Church Year Second Sunday in Advent Used With Tune: [Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding] Text Sources: Latin, 5th Century
