E1:"Wake, a_wake, for night is fly_ing,"/the watch_men on the heights are cry_ing;/"a_wake, Je_ru_sa_lem, a_rise!"/Mid_night hears the wel_come voi_ces,/and at the thril_ling cry re_joi_ces:/"Oh, where are all you vir_gins wise?/The Bride_groom comes, a_wake!/Your lamps with glad_ness take! Al_le_lu_ia!/With bri_dal care your_selves pre_pare/to meet the Bride_groom, who is near."
E2:Zi_on hears the watch_men sing_ing,/and all her heart with joy is spring_ing;/she wakes, she ris_es from her gloom./For her Lord comes down all-_glo_rious,/the strong in grace, in truth vic_to_rious;/her star is ris'n, her light is come./Now come, O Bles_sed One,/Christ Je_sus, God's own Son. Hail! Ho_san_na!/We en_ter all the mar_riage hall/to eat the Sup_per at your call.
E3:Now let all the heav'ns a_dore you,/let saints and an_gels sing be_fore you/with harp and cym_bal's clear_est tone./Of one pearl each shin_ing por_tal,/where, dwel_ling with the choir im_mor_tal,/we ga_ther round your ra_diant throne./No vi_sion e_ver brought,/no ear has e_ver caught such great glo_ry;/there_fore will we in vic_to_ry/sing hymns of praise e_ter_nal_ly./
