Hark! The Clear Voice

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Hark! the clear voice, whose thrilling tone Lyrics: 1 Hark! the clear voice, whose thrilling tone Doth rend the gloom, and rout: Be gone, vain dreams, far hence be gone; From Heav’n the Christ shines out. 2 Rise now the sluggard mind, outworn And soiled and sore that lay: Now beams the star, the star new-born, To chase all plagues away. 3 The Lamb is sent us from above, To loosen all our debt; Then sing we all of Christ’s great love Through tears our tones that wet. 4 That when He next shines glorious, While glooms the world deface, Not for sins He punish us, But with His love embrace. 5 Praise, honor, might and glory meet To God the Sire and Son, And to the Holy Paraclete, While endless ages run.

In Judah's Rugged Wilderness

Author: T. Fletcher Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: In Judah’s rugged wilderness Lyrics: 1 In Judah’s rugged wilderness, Where Jordan rolls his flood, In manners strict, and rude in dress, The holy Baptist stood. 2 And while upon the river’s side The people thronged to hear, "Repent," the sacred preacher cried; "The heavenly kingdom’s near." 3 Now Jesus to the stream descends; His feet the waters lave; And o’er His head, that humbly bends, The Baptist pours the wave. 4 When lo! a heavenly form appears, Descending as a dove; And wondrous sounds th’assembly hears, Proclaiming from above— 5 "This is My well belovèd Son; On Him My Spirit rests; Now is His reign of grace begun; Attend His high behests." 6 The sacred voice has reached our ear, And still through distant lands Shall sound, till all His name revere, And honor His commands.
