Verse_Lyric: 1
. 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!

The Bridegroom comes; awake!

Your lamps with gladness take;

Hallelujah!

And for His marriage feast prepare, 

for ye must go to meet Him there.

2. Zion hears the watchmen singing, 

and all her heart with joy is springing.

She wakes, she rises from her gloom.

For her Lord descends all glorious,

the strong in grace, in truth victorious.

Her Star is ris’n; her Light is come.

O come, Thou blessed Lord;

O come, Incarnate Word;

Hallelujah!

We follow till the halls we see,

where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee.
