Tune: Merton
('Hark, a thrilling voice is sounding')
Romans 13 v.11-14
***********
Know now it is time to awake
Out of sleep, for the Lord's sake
For now is our full salvation
Nearer for us, e'en each one
Nearer than we first did believe
The gospel truth did receive
Night is far spent, day is at hand
Christ, morning-star of eh land
Let us cast off works of darkness
Wear armour of light, no less
Live properly, as in daytime
Christ be out Light in life's rhyme
Noe revelling or licentious*
Nor lewdness, things not for us
Not striving, and not envying
Nor rioting, chambering*
But the Lord Jesus Chrsit put on
As a garment, God's own Son
Living in his life and power
Not human greed any hour
-------
* the two words here are similar -
licentious and chambering.
