German text
- Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme
- Der Wächter sehr hoch auf der Zinne,
- Wach auf, du Stadt Jerusalem!
- Wacht auf der Bräut'gam kömmt,
- Steht auf, die Lampen nehmt!
- Halleluja!
- Macht euch bereit zu Ewigkeit,
- Ihr müßet ihm entgegen gehn!
Philip Nicolai (1556-1608)
English text
Sleepers, wake! a voice is calling,
It is the watchman on the walls:
Thou City of Jerusalem!
For lo! the Bridegroom comes!
Arise, and take your lamps!
Hallelujah!
Awake! His kingdom is at hand!
Go forth, go forth to meet your Lord!
