Anonymous Mennonite Poetic text:

"Zion rise, resounds with power
The watchman's voice from lofty tower,
Awake Jerusalem, he cries.
Midnight's come is heard in Chorus
In thousand tongues, in tones sonorous
Ye prudent virgin souls arise.
Behold the bridegroom's nigh
Your lamps with oil supply,
Hallelujah!
With joy prepare, for your reward,
And hasten forth to hail the Lord."
