1
Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near.
2
The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go, meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear.
3
You saints who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, A rise, O sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere!
4
Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; The Bridegroom is arising And soon He draweth near.
C

Chorus

The Bridegroom is arising And soon the gates wide open, The Lamb you shall behold, We plead, O Lord, to Up, pray and watch and wrestle, At midnight comes the cry. Up, up, you heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand! In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold.
