Many years ago in Hernnhutt, Germany the night watchman went through the town and as each hour came to pass he called out these words:

Ye brethren hear the midnight clock is humming

at midnight our great bridegroom will be coming.

Past one o'clock, the day breaks out of darkness

Morning star appear and break our hardness.

The clock is two, on Jesus wait this silent season

ye two so near related both will and reason.

The clock is three, the blessed three doth merit,

the best of praise from body, soul, and spirit.

Tis four o'clock when three make supplication

the Lord will be the fourth on that occasion

Five is the clock, five virgins were discarded,

when five with wedding garments were rewarded.

The clock is six! I go off my station!

Now brethren, watch yourselves for your salvation!

Even so come Lord Jesus! Amen!!!
