"Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" (literally: Awake, the voice
is calling us) is a Lutheran hymn written in German by Philipp Nicolai, first
published in 1599 together with "Wie schon leuchtet der
Morgenstern". It appears in German hymnals and in several English
hymnals in translations such as "Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying"
(Catherine Winkworth, "Wake, O wake! with tidings thrilling"
(Francis Crawford Burkitt, 1906), and "Up! Awake! From Highest Steeple"
(George Ratcliffe Woodward, 1908). Johann Sebastian Bach based a chorale
cantata on the hymn, Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140, one of its
many settings for organ and for voices.
