Midnight hears the welcome voices, and at the rousing cry rejoices: 'Where are you, all you virgins wise? the Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lighted lamps then take. Hallelujah! With joy prepare to meet him there; the royal wedding feast is near. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and in her heart new joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom. For her Lord now comes all-glorious, and strong in grace, in truth victorious; her star has risen, her light has come. Now come, O precious crown, Lord Jesus, God's own Son. Hail, hosanna! O lead us all into the hall where you provide your joyful meal. 3 Now let all the heavens adore you, and saints and angels sing before you with harp and cymbal's joyful tone. Gates of pearl in heaven are shining; there, with the angel-choir combining, we gather round your radiant throne. No eye has seen the sight, no ear heard such delight. What rejoicing! Yet there will we eternally with songs acclaim your majesty. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF
