     12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD. 13 Then spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.(KJV)

     1 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, 2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, 3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: 5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. 6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.(KJV)

1. Rejoice, rejoice, believers, 
And let your lights appear! 
The evening is advancing, 
And darker night is near. 
The Bridegroom is arising, 
And soon He draweth nigh; 
Up, pray and watch and wrestle! 
At midnight comes the cry. 

2. The watchers on the mountain 
Proclaim the Bridegroom near; 
Go meet Him as He cometh, 
With hallelujahs clear. 
The marriage-feast is waiting, 
The gates wide open stand; 
Up, up, ye heirs of glory; 
The Bridegroom is at hand! 

3. Ye saints, who here in patience 
Your cross and sufferings bore, 
Shall live and reign forever, 
When sorrow is no more. 
Around the throne of glory 
The Lamb ye shall behold; 
In triumph cast before Him 
Your diadems of gold! 

4. Our Hope and Expectation, 
O Jesus, now appear; 
Arise, Desire of nations, 
O’er this benighted sphere. 
With hearts and hands uplifted, 
We plead, O Lord, to see 
The day of earth’s redemption, 
That brings us unto Thee!
