Midnight's peace their cry has broken, their urgent summons clearly spoken: "The time has come, O maidens wise! Rise up, and give us light; the Bridegroom is in sight. Alleluia! Your lamps prepare and hasten there, that you the wedding feast may share." 2 Zion hears the nightwatch singing; her heart with joyful hope is springing, she wakes and hurries through the night. Forth he comes, the Bridegroom glorious in strength of grace, in truth victorious: her star is risen, her light grows bright. Now come, most worthy Lord, God's Son, Incarnate Word, Alleluia! We follow all into the hall to join the wedding estival. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you; let saints and angels sing before you, as harps and cymbals swell the sound. Twelve great pearls, the city's portals: through them we stream to join th'immortals as we with joy your throne surround. No eye has known the sight, no ear heard such delight: Alleluia! Therefore we sing to greet our King; forever let our praises ring. Used With Tune: WACHET AUF Text Sources: Wachet Auf

With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God’s word, the weapon glorious; Against all foes be thus victorious, For God protects you from them all. Fear not the hordes of hell, Here is Emmanuel. Hail the Savior! The strong foes yield To Christ, our shield, And we, the victors, hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world’s vain pleasure And boldly strive for heav'nly treasure. Be steadfast in the Savior’s might. Trust the Lord, who stands beside you, For Jesus from all harm will hide you. By faith you conquer in the fight. Take courage, weary soul! Look forward to the goal! Joy awaits you. The race well run, Your long war won, Your crown shines splendid as the sun. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short is this our earthly way. When the Lord the dead will waken And sinners all by fear are shaken, The saints with joy will greet that day. Praise God, our triumph’s sure. We need not long endure Scorn and trial. Our Savior King His own will bring To that great glory which we sing. Topics: The Church Militant Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Each lamp be bright with ready light To grace the marriage feast tonight. 2. Zion hears the voice that singeth With sudden joy her glad heart springeth, At once she wakes, she stands arrayed: Her light is come, her star ascending, Lo, girt with truth, with mercy blending, Her Bridegroom there, so long delayed. All hail! God’s glorious Son, All hail! our joy and crown, Alleluia! The joyful call we answer all, And follow to the bridal hall. 3. Praise to Him who goes before us! Let men and angels join in chorus, Let harp and cymbal add their sound. Twelve the gates, a pearl each portal: We haste to join the choir immortal Within the Holy City’s bound.
