Audivi vocem de caelo
Thomas Tallis
Audivi vocem de caelo venientem:
Oleum recondite in vasis vestris,
dum sponsus advenerit.
Media nocte clamor factus est.
Ecce sponsus venit.
I heard a voice from heaven saying:
Lay up the oil in your vessels
when the bridegroom cometh.
At midnight there was a cry made:
Behold the bridegroom cometh.
Jeremiah 40:10 & Matthew 25:6
