Transcribed lyrics (not listed in original)

Awake y^e voice is crying
O th' Watchmen, from their towers espying
Awake O City of Jerusalem.
Tis midnight cry Surrounding
While clear and shrill y^e voice is Sounding
Hast Virgin deckt w^th Wisdom Sacred gem.
Now comes your Spouse & King
Love's burning lamps now bring
Hallelujah
get ready trim'd & drest for th' Nuptial Feast
and hast to welcome down your Lordly Guest.
