Rejoice, Ye Saints! The Time Draws Near

Rejoice, ye saints! the time draws near

When Christ will in the clouds appear,

And for His people call.

Refrain

Trim your lamps, and be ready,

Trim your lamps, and be ready,

Trim your lamps, and be ready

For the midnight cry.

For the midnight cry,

For the midnight cry,

Trim your lamps and be ready,

For the midnight cry.

The trumpet sounds, the thunders roll;

The heavens passing as a scroll;

The earth will burn with fire.

Refrain

Poor sinners then on earth will cry,

While lightnings flash from out the sky,

"O mountains, on us fall!"

Refrain

Come, brethren all, and let us try

To warn poor sinners, and to cry,

"Behold, the Bridegroom comes!"

Refrain
