The Bridegroom is arising And soon He draweth nigh. Up! pray and watch and wrestle At midnight comes the cry! See that your lamps are burning Replenish them with oil And wait for your salvation The end of earthly toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near Go meet Him as He cometh With Hallelujahs clear! Ye wise and holy virgins Now raise your voices higher Till in songs of jubilee They meet the angel choir. The marriage feast is waiting The gates wide open stand Up! up! ye heirs of glory The Bridegroom is at hand! Ye saints who here in patience Your cross and suff’rings bore Shall live and reign for ever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! Palms of victory are there There radiant garments are There stands the peaceful harvest Beyond the reach of war. There after stormy winter The flowers of earth arise And from the grave s long slumber Shall meet again our eyes! Our Hope and Expectation O Jesus! now appear Arise thou Sun so longed for O er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted We plead O Lord to see The day of earth’s redemption That brings us unto Thee! }} [[Christian Hymns}} SUBPAGENAME ]]
