We haste along, in pomp of song,
And gladsome join the marriage throng.

ff 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone.

mf By the pearly gates in wonder

We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, That echoes round Thy dazzling throne. p No vision ever brought,

No ear hath ever caught,

Such bliss and joy:

ff We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.

"Cast a way the works of dark-ness, O ye chil-dren of the day." A-MEN.

mf 2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earth bound soul arise;
cr Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
mf 4 So when next He comes with glory,
p Wrapping all the world in fear,
cr May He with His mercy shield us,
And with words of love draw near.
Tr. by E. Caswall

f 3 Lo! the Lamb, so long expected,

Comes with pardon down from heaven; dim Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all to be forgiven;

Up! pray,and watch, and wrestle! At mid-night comes the cry. A-MEN. 包

mf 2 See that your lamps are burning; Replenish them with oil;

Look now for your salvation,
The end of sin and toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near,

cr Go meet Him as He cometh,
With alleluias clear.

f3 O wise and holy virgins,

Now raise your voices higher,
Until in songs of triumph
Ye meet the angel-choir.

mp 4

The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand;
Up, up, ye heirs of glory!
The Bridegroom is at hand.
Our hope and expectation,
O Jesu, now appear;

cr Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!

f With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee!

L. Laurenti: TR. S. Findlater
