“Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” -Rev. 22:20
1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your ligths appear, The ev’ning is advancing And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon will He draw nigh; Up, pray and watch and wrestle, At midnight comes the cry.
2 See that your lamp are burning, Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of earthly toil. the watchers on the mountain Proclaim the bridegrooom near, Go meet Him as He cometh, with Hallelujah clear.
3 Ye wise and holy virgins, Raise your voices higher, f Untill in songs of triumph They meet the angel choir. the gate wide open stand: Up, up! Ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand.
4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus now appear: Arise, Thou Sun, so long’d for, O’er this benighted sphere: With hearts and hands uplifted We plead, O Lord, to see The day of our redemption, That brings us unto Thee.
