Whatever you do, DON'T let this issue slide without seriously considering replacement bearings! Sure, lubing them now will help prevent further damage for now but the damage is already done and it's only a matter of time before something wears down badly and the back tire wobbling lose or worse yet, folding under the bike when under power. check also where the bearings were seated and see if there's any scoring or grooving caused by the spent bearings. If there is, you may need to replace the main drive axle as well. THAT can be a real pain in the @$$!
