Rejoice, ye saints, the time draws near,
When Christ will in the clouds appear,
And for His children call,
And for His children call.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
The trumpet sounds, the thunders roll,
The heavens passing as a scroll,
The earth will burn with fire,
The earth will burn with fire.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
Poor sinners then on earth will cry,
While lightning flashes from the sky,
“O mountains, on us fall,
O mountains, on us fall.”
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
Come, all be ready; let us try
To warn the sinner and to cry,
“Behold the Bridegroom comes,
Behold the Bridegroom comes.”
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
Rejoice, ye saints, the time draws near,
When Christ will in the clouds appear,
And for His children call,
And for His children call.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
The trumpet sounds, the thunders roll,
The heavens passing as a scroll,
The earth will burn with fire,
The earth will burn with fire.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
Poor sinners then on earth will cry,
While lightning flashes from the sky,
“O mountains, on us fall,
O mountains, on us fall.”
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
Come, all be ready; let us try
To warn the sinner and to cry,
“Behold the Bridegroom comes,
Behold the Bridegroom comes.”
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight call.
