lyrics

Wake, awake, for night is flying; 
The watchmen on the heights are crying: 
Awake, Jerusalem, at last! 
Midnight hears the welcome voices 
And at the thrilling cry rejoices; 
Come forth, beloved, night is past; 
The Bridegroom comes, awake
The feast is spread, partake!
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Zion hears the watchmen singing, 
And all her heart with joy is springing; 
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all glorious,
 The strong in grace, in truth victorious. 
Her Star is risen, her Light is come.
Ah come, Thou blessed One,
God’s own beloved Son:
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Lamb of God, the heav’ns adore Thee,
And saints and angels sing before Thee,
Their anthem raised in clearest tone.
In that city, full of wonder
We’ll stand and join the voice of thunder
That echoes round Thy radiant throne:
All hail, our risen Lord
O Jesus, our reward
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Philipp Nicolai, 1599
