| 1. 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.
2. The trumpet sounds!
Through earth and sky
Resounds the solemn midnight cry,
“Behold! the Bridegroom comes.”
Refrain.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight cry.
3. The Lord will come
to claim His own,
And on each faithful one a crown
Of life He will bestow.
Refrain.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight cry.
4. And then with rapture infinite
We’ll cast our crowns down
at His feet,
And crown Him King of kings.
Refrain.
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
Trim your lamps and be ready,
For the midnight cry.
