  1. Hymn “"Sleepers, wake!“ the watch are calling” (VU 711) *Please stand as you are able

  2. 1 'Sleepers, wake!‘ the watch are calling, their notes from Zion's watchtower falling: 'Awake, awake, Jerusalem! Midnight comes, no longer slumber, nor let dull sleep your senses cumber.

  3. Wise virgins, haste, or do you dream? The bridegroom draweth near! Arise, your lamps show clear. Hallelujah. Yourselves array this marriage day to meet the bridegroom on his way.'

  4. 2 Zion hears the sentries singing, her heart within for joy is springing, she wakes, she speeds with glad surprise. For her God comes down all glorious, in grace most strong, in truth victorious, her light is come, her star doth rise.

  5. Welcome! thou worthy crown, Lord Jesus, God's dear Son, hosanna! We join the throng that streams along and fills thy banquet hall with song.

  6. 3 Let all creatures sound thy praises, now earth its voice with heaven raises, with harps' and cymbals' joyful tone. Gates of pearl swing wide before us, thy guests who join that blessed chorus of angels that surround thy throne.

  7. No eye hath seen, nor ear was yet so blest to hear such rejoicing! Henceforth may we eternally sing hallelujahs unto thee.
