In 1599, Philipp Nicolai published a hymn based on Matthew 25, the parable of the ten virgins:
Wake, awake, for night is flying;
The watchmen on the heights are crying:
Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices;
Come forth, ye virgins, night is past.
The Bridegroom comes, awake;
Your lamps with gladness take;
Alleluia! And for His marriage feast prepare
For ye must go and meet Him there.
Christ was speaking of his second coming, but now this hymn is used during Advent, to refer to his first coming.
