Text marked as lyrics
Startled at the solemn warning, from the darkness we arise; Christ, our sun, all ill dispelling, shines upon the morning skies. Honor, glory, might, dominion to the Father and the Son, with the everliving Spirit while eternal ages run. Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! "Christ is near," we hear it say. "Cast away the works of darkness, all you children of the day!" See, the Lamb so long expected comes with pardon down from heaven. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, one and all, to be forgiven; so when next he comes in glory and the world is wrapped in fear, he will shield us with his mercy and with words of love draw near.
