Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Author: Philipp Nicolai; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:11-12 Lyrics: 1 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, you maidens! Night is past.
The bridegroom comes! Awake;
your lamps with gladness take!"
Alleluia!
Prepare yourselves to meet the Lord,
whose light has stirred the waiting guard.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
and in her heart new joy is springing.
She wakes, she rises from her gloom,
for her Lord comes down all-glorious,
and strong in grace, in truth victorious.
Her star is risen; her light is come.
O, come, you Blessed One,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son.
Sing hosanna!
We go until the halls we view
where you have bid us dine with you.
3 Now let all the heavens adore you,
and saints and angels sing before you.
The harps and cymbals all unite.
Of one pearl each shining portal,
where, dwelling with the choir immortal,
we gather round your dazzling light.
No eye has seen, no ear has yet been trained
to hear what joy is ours!
Crescendos rise; your halls resound;
hosannas blend in cosmic sound.

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night
Author: John Bowring Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 864 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:12 Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night,
what its signs of promise are.
Traveler, what a wondrous sight:
see that glory-beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
news of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
see, it bursts o’er all the earth.
3 Watchman, tell us of the night,
for the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, shadows take their flight;
doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, you may go your way;
hasten to your quiet home.
Traveler, we rejoice today,
for Emmanuel has come!

Wake! the Welcome Day Appeareth
Author: J. A. Freylinghausen, 1670-1739 ; F. E. Cox, 1812-97 Meter: 8.8.7.7.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:11-14 Lyrics: 1 Wake! the welcome day appeareth,
How with joy our hearts it cheereth!
Wake, the Lord's great year behold!
That which holy men of old,
Those who throng the sacred pages,
Waited for through countless ages;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Patriarchs and priests aspiring,
Kings and prophets long desiring,
Saw not this before they died:
Lo, the sight to them denied!
See His beams to earth directed!
Welcome, O Thou long-expected!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 He, the Savior sent by heaven,
Once through fiath to Abram given,
Israel's Son and glorious King,
Hope to which the Gentiles cling,
Now on earth with men abiding,
Comes to Zion meekly riding:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 Lo! He comes, a victim willing,
All His Father's will fulfilling;
He will, through His precious blood,
All things once again make good,
Pain and shame of death sustaining,
What was lost with joy regaining;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 In our stead Himself He offers,
On the cursed tree He suffers,
That His death's sweet savor may
Take our curse of aye away,
Cross and curse for us enduring,
Hope and heav'n to us securing;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 Moses' law no longer rules us,
Christ's free Spirit gently schools us;
Ended now our captive thrall;
He who heeds God's gracious call,
Through his Savior's death and merit,
Now enjoys adoption's spirit;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
7 Rent the temple curtain's center,
Fearless we may boldly enter,
Through the veil, the holy place,
There to stand before His face;
He who once came down from heaven,
Fear from all our breasts hath driven;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
8 Hence thy King, O Zion, praising,
Heart and voice to Him upraising,
Shout with joy, thou royal heir
In His kingdom thou wilt share;
Come, thyself as off'ring bringing,
Come, thou Bride, forever singing
Alleluia! Alleluia!
