Author: | Jennie Wilson |
Tune: | [At the coming of the Bridegroom] |
Composer: | I. H. Meredith |
1 At the coming of the Bridegroom
Will your lamp be burning bright?
Should the cry "Go forth to meet him"
Reach you in the slumbrous night,
Chorus:
Oh, my brother, are you ready,
When the thrilling call you hear?
Lo! the heav'nly Bridegroom cometh;
Will it bring you joy or fear?
2 At the coming of the Bridegroom
Will you join in happy songs?
Sweetest strains of loving praises
Rising from rejoicing throngs? [Chorus]
3 Will you, at the Bridegroom's coming.
Be in wedding garments drest?
Will you to the marriage supper
Enter as a welcome guest? [Chorus]
4 For the coming of the Bridegroom,
With the faithful watch and wait,
Lest you at the banquet portals
Hear the solemn words, "Too late." [Chorus]
