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, The strong in grace, in truth victorious. Her Star is ris'n; her light is come. Oh, 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 heav'ns 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. Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

Whilst in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reigned the King immortal, Holy, infinite. 4 Brightly dawned the Advent Of the new-born King, Joyously the watchers Heard the angels sing. Sadly closed the evening Of His hallowed life, As the noontide darkness Veiled the last dread strife. Lo! again in glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reigns the King immortal, Holy, infinite. 5 Lo! again He cometh, Robed in clouds of light, As the Judge eternal, Armed with power and might. Nations to His footstool Gathered then shall be; Earth shall yield her treasures, And her dead, the sea. Till the trumpet soundeth, 'Mid eternal light, Reign, Thou King immortal, Holy, infinite. 6 Jesu! Lord and Master, Prophet, Priest and King, To Thy feet, triumphant, Hallowed praise we bring. Thine the pain and weeping, Thine the victory; Power, and praise, and honor, Be, O Lord, to Thee. High in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reign, O King immortal, Holy, infinite. Amen.
