Wake, awake, for night is flying

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Philipp Nicolai, 1556 - 1608 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #7a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem, at last! Midnight hears the welcome voices And at the thrilling cry rejoices: Come forth, ye virgins, night is past! The Bridegroom comes, awake, Your lamps with gladness take; Allelujah! And for his marriage feast prepare, For ye must go to meet him there. A-men. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with 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 risen, her Light is come. Ah come, thou blessèd One, God's own belovèd Son, Alleluia! We follow till the halls we see Where thou hast bid us sup with thee. 3 Now let all the heavens adore thee, And men and angels sing before thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round thy dazzling throne; Nor eye hath seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear What there is ours; But we rejoice, and sing to thee Our hymn of joy eternally. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

Wake, awake, for night is flying

Wide open are thy hands

We worship thee, almighty Lord

We love the place, O God

Where cross the crowded ways of life

When all thy mercies, O my God

When all thy mercies, O my God

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

When Christmas morn is dawning

With solemn joy we come, dear Lord

Where restless crowds are thronging

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

With broken heart and contrite sigh
