1
Wake, awake, for night is flying,
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
Awake, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight's solemn hour is tolling,
His chariot wheels are nearer rolling,
He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise.
2
Zion hears the watchmen singing,
Her heart with deep delight is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
Forth her Bridegroom comes, all glorious,
In grace arrayed, by truth victorious,
Her Star is risen, her Light is come!
3
Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee,
And men and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal's clear est tone.
By the pearly gates in wonder
We stand, and swell the voice of thunder
That echoes round Thy dazzling throne.
C
Chorus
Rise up, with willing feet
Go forth, the Bridegroom meet:
Alleluia!
Bear through the night your well-trimmed light,
Speed forth to join the marriage rite.
