Awake, drowsy souls,
The Bridegroom is near,
With lamps ready trimmed,
Before him appear;
Rouse, rouse from your slumbers,
To action arise,
No more be ye numbered
Among the unwise.
With grace in your hearts,
Be anxious to prove,
The Bridegroom you know,
His presence you love;
Be wise and be watchful,
Till he shall appear,
The marriage is ready,
The Saviour is near.
Oh let me be found,
Awaiting his will,
His word may I keep,
His precepts fulfil;
That when he approaches,
I may him receive,
And in his embraces
Eternally live.
