"Behold, A King will reign in righteousness..."
Isaiah 32:1
Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear;
The evening is advancing, And darker night is near:
The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh;
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle: At midnight comes the cry.
See that your lamps are burning; Replenish them with oil;
And wait for your salvation, The end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain, Proclaim the Bridegroom near
Go meet Him as He cometh, With alleluias clear.
Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus now appear!
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption That brings us unto Thee. Amen.
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
