'Wake, awake! for night is flying'
Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:4 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 virgins, night is past!
The Bridegroom comes; awake,
your lamps with gladness take,
Alleluia!
and for his marriage feast prepare,
for ye must go and 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 the Lord comes down all-glorious,
the strong in grace, in truth victorious;
her Star is risen, her Light is come!
Now come, O blessèd One,
God's own belovèd Son,
Alleluia!
We follow to the festal hall
to sup with you, the Lord of all.
3 All the heavens and earth adore you,
and saints and angels sing before you,
with harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
Zion's gates of pearl before us
resound as angels sing in chorus
and lead us to your dazzling throne.
No mortal eye nor ear
can comprehend or bear
such great glory;
but we rejoice and sing the song,
Alleluia! through ages long. Topics: Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah; Christ Risen Coming Again; Angels; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
