The wingèd 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. |
