Up! Awake! From Highest Steeple
The Watchmen Cry, Awake, Ye People;
O Salem, From Thy Slumber Rise!
Hear Those Clarion-Voices Knelling,
The Hour Of Midnight Loud Forth-Telling;
Say, Where Are Ye, O Virgins Wise?
The Bridegroom Comes; Awake!
Up! Lamp And Lantern Take;
Alleluya!
With Ready Light Ye Must To-Night
Go Forth To Join The Marriage-Rite.
Syon Hears The Watchmen Sounding,
Her Heart With Deep Delight Is Bounding;
Anon She Wakes; Away She Wends:
Comes Her Spouse From Heaven, All Glorious,
In Grace Almighty, In Truth Victorious;
Her Light Doth Shine, Her Star Ascends.
Jesu, Our Peerless Crown,
Strong Son Of God, Come Down!
Alleluya!
Fain Will We All Obey Thy Call,
And Follow To The Bridal-Hall.
Glory Unto Thee In Heaven
By Men And Angel-Tongues Be Given,
With Harp And Cymbals Thrilling Tone;
Syon Hath Twelve Pearly Portals,
Wherein, With Angel-Quire, We Mortals
On High May Stand Around Thy Throne:
Eye Near Saw Aught Like This;
Ear Near Heard Tell Such Bliss;
Alleluya
And We Therefore Will Thee Adore,
And Hymn Thy Praises Evermore.
