The Midnight Cry

1The midnight cry begins to sound,
The watchmen wake on Zion's wall;
The year of jubilee has come,
Return, ye ransomed sinners, all.

2Behold, the bridegroom cometh now,
Trim your lamps and make them bright;
He's coming to the marriage feast,
To end the reign of sin and night.

3The wise took oil within their lamps,
The foolish took no oil at all;
So when the bridegroom came at last,
The wise went in to wedding hall.
