|
<p>Rejoice, rejoice, believers, and let your lights appear.<br>
|
|
The evening is advancing, and darker night is near.<br>
|
|
The Bridegroom is arising, and soon He draweth nigh.<br>
|
|
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle: At midnight comes the cry.</p>
|
|
<p>See that your lamps are burning; replenish them with oil.<br>
|
|
And wait for your salvation, the end of earthly toil.<br>
|
|
The watchers on the mountain proclaim the Bridegroom near.<br>
|
|
Go meet Him as He cometh, with alleluias clear.</p>
|
|
<p>O wise and holy virgins, now raise your voices higher,<br>
|
|
Until in songs of triumph ye meet the angel choir.<br>
|
|
The marriage feast is waiting, the gates wide open stand;<br>
|
|
Rise up, ye heirs of glory, the Bridegroom is at hand.</p>
|
|
<p>Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear!<br>
|
|
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, over this benighted sphere!<br>
|
|
With hearts and hands uplifted, we plead, O Lord, to see<br>
|
|
The day of earth’s redemption that brings us unto Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Ye saints, who here in patience your cross and sufferings bore,<br>
|
|
Shall live and reign forever, when sorrow is no more.<br>
|
|
Around the throne of glory the Lamb ye shall behold;<br>
|
|
In triumph cast before Him your diadems of gold!</p>
