Hark, a herald voice is calling;
“Christ is nigh,” it seems to say;
“Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day.”
“Christ is nigh,” it seems to say;
“Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day.”
Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heaven;
Let us haste with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgotten.
Roman Breviary, Hymn En clara vox redarguit at Lauds
(Tr. Caswall)
(Ambrosian, 5th cent.)
