5/30 Sleepers, Wake! by J. S. Bach
This piece, officially titled Schübler chorale 1 (BWV 645) is one of the most famous chorale preludes by J. S. Bach.
The piece is based on the melody 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme', by Philipp Nicolai and would best suit a performance during the signing of the register.
This version of the chorale is for the organ/piano and does not have any lyrics. However, the original text is religious. I have found an online translation for you to read.
If you are having a civil ceremony, then I would strongly recommend checking with the registry office that covers your wedding to find out if they will permit this piece to be played for your wedding ceremony.
