<p>Ye waiting souls, arise,<br>
With all the dead, awake!<br>
Unto salvation wise,<br>
Oil in your vessels take;<br>
Upstarting at the midnight cry,<br>
&#8220;Behold, the heavenly Bridegroom nigh!&#8221;</p>
<p>He comes, He comes to call<br>
The nations to His bar,<br>
And take to glory all<br>
Who meet for glory are;<br>
Made ready for your full reward,<br>
Go forth with joy to meet your Lord.</p>
<p>Go, meet Him in the sky,<br>
Your everlasting Friend;<br>
Your Head to glorify,<br>
With all His saints ascend;<br>
Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace<br>
To see, without a veil, His face.</p>
<p>The everlasting doors<br>
Shall soon the saints receive,<br>
With seraphs, thrones, and powers,<br>
In glorious joy to live;<br>
Far from a world of grief and sin,<br>
With God eternally shut in.</p>
<p>Then let us wait to hear<br>
The trumpet&#8217;s welcome sound;<br>
To see our Lord appear,<br>
May we be watching found;<br>
And when Thou dost the heavens bow,<br>
Be found&#8212;as, Lord, Thou find&#8217;st us now.</p>
