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.
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.
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.
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.
All Laud To God The Father Be,
All Praise, Eternal Son, To Thee;
All Glory, As Is Ever Meet,
To God The Holy Paraclete.
