“Wake, awake, for night is flying,”

The watchmen on the heights are crying;

“Awake, Jerusalem, at last!”

Midnight hears the welcome voices

And at the thrilling cry rejoices:

“Come forth, ye virgins, night is past!

The Bridegroom comes: Awake!

Your lamps with gladness take!

Alleluia!

And for His marriage feast prepare,

For ye must go to meet Him there.”
