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 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.
