And let your lights appear; The shades of eve are thickening, And darker night is near; The Bridegroom is advancing; Each hour he draws more nigh; Up! watch and pray, nor slumber; At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lamps are burning, Your vessels filled with oil; Wait calmly your deliverance From earthly pain and toil; The watchers on the mountains Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go, meet him, as he cometh, With hallelujahs clear. 3 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear! Arise, thou sun so looked-for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of our redemption, And ever be with thee.

The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.
