The song is from the music of the Hebrew speaking Catholic community in Israel and is performed here by a group of singers led by Benny, Magali and Father Rafic.

The words:

Refrain: Stand awake and watch!

1. A lit lamp carry in your hands – and when the Lord will come
He will open the doors of his house.

Refrain

2. As the guardians of the hearth stand – and when the Lord will come
He will make you responsible for his house.

Refrain

3. You are invited to the feast – and when the Lord will come
He will dress you for the wedding.

Refrain

4. Stay awake and do not sleep – and when the Lord will come
He will eat with you at the wedding.
