1 Late, late, so late! and dark the night and chill;
Late, late, so late! but we can enter still;
Late, late, so late! Late, late, so late!
But we can enter still,
But we can enter still.

Chorus:
Too late! too late!
Ye cannot enter now!
Too late! too late!
Ye cannot enter now!

2 No light! so late! and dark the chill the night;
O let us in, that we may find the light;
O let us in, O let us in,
That we may find the light,
That we may find the light. [Chorus]

3 Have we not heard the Bridegroom is so sweet?
O let us in, that we may kiss His feet!
O let us in, O let us in,
That we may kiss His feet,
That we may kiss His feet. [Chorus]
