15. Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding

1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding;
"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness;
You are children of the day."

2 Lo, the Lamb, so long-expected,
Comes with pardon down from heav'n.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiv'n,

3 That, when next he comes with glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He may shield us with his mercy
And with words of love draw near.

4 Honor, glory, might, dominion
To the Father and the Son
With the everlasting Spirit
While eternal ages run!
