Midnight strikes! no more delaying, 'The hour has come!' we hear them saying. Where are ye all, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes in sight, Raise high your torches bright! Alleluya! The wedding song Swells loud and strong: Go forth and join the festal throng. 2 Sion hears the watchmen shouting, Her heart leaps up with joy undoubting, She stands and waits with eager eyes; See her Friend from heaven descending, Adorned with truth and grace unending! Her light burns clear, her star doth rise. Now come, thou precious Crown, Lord Jesu, God’s own Son! Hosanna! Let us prepare To follow there, Where in thy supper we may share. 3 Every soul in thee rejoices; From men and from angelic voices Be glory given to thee alone! Now the gates of pearl receive us, Thy presence never more shall leave us, We stand with Angels round thy throne. Earth cannot give below The bliss thou dost bestow. Alleluya! Grant us to raise, To length of days, The triumph-chorus of thy praise. Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Yet we may not remain; But since you bidst us leave the mount Come with us to the plain.
