O let your face upon us shine, and fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise to you, eternal Son, whose advent has our freedom won; and praise to God whom we adore, with Holy Spirit evermore.

Midnight hears the welcome voices and at the thrilling cry rejoices: "Where are the virgins pure and wise? The bridegroom comes, awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Alleluia! With bridal care and faith's bold prayer, to meet the Bridegroom, come, prepare!" 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, and strong in grace, in truth victorious. Her star's arising light has come! "Now come, O blessed one, Lord Jesus, God's own Son. Hail, hosanna! We answer all in joy your call, we follow to the wedding hall." 3 Now let all the heav'ns adore you, let saints and angels sing before you with harp and cymbal's clearest tone. Of one pearl each shining portal, where, joining with the choir immortal, we gather round your radiant throne. No eye has seen that light, no ear the echoed might of your glory; yet there shall we in your vict'ry sing shouts of praise eternally!
