Hark! A Mystic Voice is Sounding
En clara vox

Tr. Rev. E. Caswall
Nicola A. Montani

Moderato

1.
Hark! A mystic voice is sounding,
"Christ is nigh," it seems to say.
"Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day."
Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.

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.
So when next He comes with glory,
Wrapping all the earth in fear,
May He then as our Defender,
On the clouds of Heav'n appear.
