A thrilling cry we hear the sound
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1148 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A thrilling cry we hear the sound;
The faithful watchmen lift their voice;
From land to land the world around
It bids the saints rejoice:
Ye pilgrims, rise, break forth and sing
The glorious coming of your King;
The thrilling cry we hear it sound,
"Prepare to meet your Lord."
2 Blow, watchmen, blow the certain sound,
For dark and dangerous is the night;
And daring scoffers gather round
The evil servants smite.
Ye faithful ones the strict watch keep,
With lamps well trimmed, and do not sleep
The thrilling cry, we hear it sound,
"Prepare to meet your Lord."
3 In earth's dark hour God's word gives light,
Its rays dispel the thickening gloom;
The path to glory now is bright
The Bridegroom soon will come.
Then lift your voices, saints, and sing
Your sweetest strains to Zion's King
The thrilling cry we hear it sound,
"Prepare to meet your Lord." Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Tune Title: HOW FAR FROM HOME?

Ye pilgrims, rise, break forth and sing
The glorious coming of your King;
The thrilling cry--we hear it sound,
"Prepare to meet your Lord."

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "A thrilling cry we hear the sound" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
