Rejoice, rejoice, believers!
Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Sarah B. Findlater Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 334 hymnals Topics: Advent IV Morning Prayer Closing; Advent IV The Holy Communion Sequence Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers!
And let your lights appear;
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon he will draw nigh;
Up! watch in expectation!
At midnight comes the cry.
2 See that your lights are burning;
Replenish them with oil;
Look now for your salvation,
The end of sin and toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near,
Go meet him as he cometh,
With alleluias clear.
3 O wise and holy virgins,
Now raise your voices higher,
Until in songs of triumph
Ye meet the angel choir.
The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand;
Up, up, ye heirs of glory!
The Bridegroom is at hand.
4 Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The days of earth's redemption,
And ever be with thee!
Amem. Used With Tune: GREENLAND
