Peruse the list of all the hymns that are included in the printed "ReClaim Hymnal for Church and Home" (Pew and Spiral Editions)

Hark, A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding!


1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding; 
"Christ is nigh," it seems to say,
"Cast away the works of darkness, 
O ye children of the day."

2 Wakened by the solemn warning, 
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ, her sun, all ill dispelling, 
Shines upon the morning skies.

3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected, 
Comes with pardon down from heav'n;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, 
One and all, to be forgiv'n.

4 So, when next he comes in glory, 
And the world is wrapped in fear,
With his mercy may he shield us, 
And with words of love draw near.

5 Honor, glory, might,and blessing 
Be to God: the Father, Son
With the everlasting Spirit, 
While eternal ages run.
