Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Philipp Nicolai, 1599
- Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme
- Der Wächter sehr hoch auf der Zinne,
- Wach auf, du Stadt Jerusalem!
- Mitternacht heißt diese Stunde,
- Sie rufen uns mit hellem Munde:
- Wo seid ihr klugen Jungfrauen?
- Wohlauf, der Bräut'gam kömmt,
- Steht auf, die Lampen nehmt!
- Halleluja!
- Macht euch bereit zu der Hochzeit,
- Ihr müßet ihm entgegengehn!
- Zion hört die Wächter singen,
- Das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen,
- Sie wacht und stehet eilend auf.
- Ihr Freund kommt vom Himmel prächtig,
- Von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig,
- Ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf.
- Nun komm, du werte Kron',
- Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn!
- Hosianna!
- Wir folgen all' zum Freudensaal
- Und halten mit das Abendmahl.
- Gloria sei dir gesungen
- Mit Menschen- und mit Engelzungen,
- Mit Harfen und mit Zimbeln schö;n.
- Von zwölf Perlen sind die Pforten
- An deiner Stadt, wir sind Konsorten
- Der Engel hoch um deinen Thron.
- Kein Aug, hat je gespürt,
- Kein Ohr hat mehr gehört
- Solche Freude.
- Das sind wir froh, i-o, i-o,
- Ewig in dulci jubilo.
