JS Bach: Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns die Stimme
This is the Chorale from the Cantata Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns die Stimme BWV 140. The hymn was written by Philipp Nicolai, and published in 1599, and is a traditional hymn in Advent and at Christmas.
Media not showing? Let me know!
Awake! the voice of the watchman
Calleth us from high upon the walls;
Awake, O City of Jerusalem!
This is the hour named midnight:
She calleth us with a clear voice.
Where are ye, O wise virgins?
Arise, the Bridegroom cometh;
Stand, and take your lamps in hand!
Alleluia! [Praise ye the Lord!]
Make ready for the marriage,
Ye must go out to meet him!
