<p>The wingèd herald of the day<br>
|
|
Proclaims the morn’s approaching ray:<br>
|
|
And Christ the Lord our souls excites,<br>
|
|
And so to endless life invites.</p>
|
|
<p>Take up thy bed, to each He cries,<br>
|
|
Who sick or wrapped in slumber lies;<br>
|
|
And chaste and just and sober stand<br>
|
|
And watch: My coming is at at hand.</p>
|
|
<p>With earnest cry, with tearful care,<br>
|
|
Call we the Lord to hear our prayer;<br>
|
|
While supplication, pure and deep,<br>
|
|
Forbids each chastened heart to sleep.</p>
|
|
<p>Do Thou, O Christ, our slumber wake:<br>
|
|
Do Thou the chains of darkness break;<br>
|
|
Purge Thou our former sins away,<br>
|
|
And in our souls new light display.</p>
|
|
<p>All laud to God the Father be,<br>
|
|
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;<br>
|
|
All glory, as is ever meet,<br>
|
|
To God the holy Paraclete.</p>
