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. Scripture: Isaiah 21:11 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
