Findlater, 1823-1907 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 335 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh; Up, pray and watch and wrestle; At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lamps are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of earthly toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear! Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands up lifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption That brings us unto Thee. Amen.

Thy bounties how complete! How shall I count the matchless sum? How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light, Dost thou exalted shine; What can my poverty bestow, When all the worlds are thine? 3 But thou hast brethren here below, The partners of thy grace; And wilt confess their humble names Before thy Father's face. 4 In them thou may'st be cloth'd and fed, And visited and cheer'd; And in their accents of distress, My Savior's voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love, We in thy poor would see; O let us rather beg our bread Than keep it back from thee.

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray

Author: Johann Burkhard Freystein, 1671-1718; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:5 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray; From your sleep awaken! Be not by the evil day Unawares o'ertaken; For the foe, Well we know, Is a harvest reaping While the saints are sleeping. 2 Watch against the devil's snares Lest asleep he find you; For indeed no pains he spares To deceive and blind you. Satan's prey Oft are they Who secure are sleeping And no watch are keeping. 3 Watch! Let not the wicked world With its lies defeat you Lest with bold deceptions hurled It betray and cheat you. Watch and see Lest there be Faithless friends to charm you, Who but seek to harm you. 4 Watch against yourself, my soul, Lest with grace you trifle; Let not self your thoughts control Nor God's mercy stifle. Pride and sin Lurk within, All your hopes to shatter; Heed not when they flatter. 5 But while watching, also pray To the Lord unceasing. God protects you day by day, Strength and faith increasing, So that still Mind and will Shall unite to serve Him And forever love Him. Topics: The Church Militant Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT
