The Day Awakes

1A voice from the midnight cries, Wakening beauty, And all the earth from its peaceful rest takes its flight; The hosts of stars are shining bright, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!

2At midnight there's a cry, Behold the Bridegroom cometh! Go forth to meet him! The chosen company must arise, And greet him with their burning light.

3O happy ye, and blest, All ye who hear the summons! Go forth to meet your Bridegroom! Hallelujah! With joyful heart and ready hands, Ye watch and wait his coming!

4The marriage of the Lamb has come, And ready is the bride! She has made herself ready, And in her beauty all may see The glory of her Lord.
