[1]
Hark! a herald voice is calling:
'Christ is near,' it seems to say,
'cast away the dreams of darkness,
waken, children of the day!'
[2]
Wakened by 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 meet him with repentance,
pray that we may he forgiven.
[4]
So when love comes forth in judgment,
debts and doubts and wrongs to clear,
faithful may he find his servants
watching till the dawn appear.
