EN 3204 The Winged Herald of the Day

Matt.25.13

Versi Version 1

1

The winged herald of the day

Proclaims the morn’s approaching ray:

And Christ the Lord our souls excites,

And so to endless life invites.

2

Take up thy bed, to each He cries,

Who sick or wrapped in slumber lies;

And chaste and just and sober stand

And watch: My coming is at hand.

3

With earnest cry, with tearful care,

Call we the Lord to hear our prayer;

While supplication, pure and deep,

Forbids each chastened heart to sleep.

4

Do Thou, O Christ, our slumber wake:

Do Thou the chains of darkness break;

Purge Thou our former sins away,

And in our souls new light display.

5

All laud to God the Father be,

All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;

All glory, as is ever meet,

To God the holy Paraclete.
