'Wake, awake, for night is flying'
Author: Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Together in Song #266 (1999) Lyrics: 1 'Wake, awake, for night is flying,'
the watchmen on the heights are crying,
'Awake, Jerusalem, arise!'
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
and at the rousing cry rejoices:
'Where are you, all you virgins wise?
the Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lighted lamps then take.
Hallelujah!
With joy prepare
to meet him there;
the royal wedding feast is near.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
and in her heart new joy is springing;
she wakes, she rises from her gloom.
For her Lord now comes all-glorious,
and strong in grace, in truth victorious;
her star has risen, her light has come.
Now come, O precious crown,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son.
Hail, hosanna!
O lead us all
into the hall
where you provide your joyful meal.
3 Now let all the heavens adore you,
and saints and angels sing before you
with harp and cymbal's joyful tone.
Gates of pearl in heaven are shining;
there, with the angel-choir combining,
we gather round your radiant throne.
No eye has seen the sight,
no ear heard such delight.
What rejoicing!
Yet there will we
eternally
with songs acclaim your majesty.

“Sleepers, Wake!” A Voice Astounds Us
Wake, O Wake and Sleep No Longer
Author: Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608; Christopher Idle Hymnal: One in Faith #353 (2015) Lyrics: 1 Wake, O wake and sleep no longer,
For he who calls you is no stranger;
Awake, God's own Jerusalem!
Hear, the midnight bells are chiming.
The signal for his royal coming;
Let voice to voice announce his name!
We feel his footsteps near,
The Bridegroom at the door, Alleluia!
The lamps will shine with light divine
As Christ the Savior comes to reign.
2 Zion hears the sound of singing;
Our hearts are thrilled with sudden longing.
She stirs and wakes and stands prepared.
Christ, her friend and Lord and lover,
Her star and sun and strong Redeemer,
At last his mighty voice is heard.
The Son of God has come
To make with us his home: sing Hosanna!
The fight is won, the feast begun;
We fix our eyes on Christ alone.
3 Glory, glory, sing the angels,
While music sounds from strings and cymbals;
All humankind, with songs arise!
Twelve the gates into the city,
Each one a pearl of shining beauty;
The streets of gold ring out with praise.
All creatures round the throne
Adore the holy One with rejoicing.
Amen be sung by ev'ry tongue
To crown their welcome to the King. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF
