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

The trumpet sounds! through earth and sky Resounds the solemn midnight cry, " Behold! The Bridegroom comes."

The Lord will come to claim His own, And on each faithful one a crown Of life He will bestow.

And then with rapture infinite We'll cast our crowns down at His feet, And crown Him King of kings,

Trim your lamps and be ready, Trim you lamps and be ready, Trim your lamps and be ready --(Tune " Trim your Lamps" Chorus cont.)-- For the midnight cry. For the midnight cry, For the midnight cry, Trim your lamps and be ready, For the midnight cry.
