Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers
Author: Sarah B. Findlater, 1823-1907; Laurentius Laurenti, 1660-1772 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 334 hymnals Lyrics: 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 will draw nigh;
Up, watch in expectation!
At midnight comes the cry.
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;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With alleluias clear.
3. O wise and holy virgins,
Now raise your voices higher,
Until in songs of triumph
Ye meet the angel choir.
The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand;
Rise up, ye heirs of glory!
The bridegroom is at hand.
4. 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,
And ever be with thee. Scripture: Matthew 25:6 Used With Tune: BIENHEUREUX EST QUICONQUES (GENEVAN 128)
