Prepare, Ye Saints, To Meet Your Lord

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Prepare, ye saints, to meet your Lord, Nor sleep nor slumber more; Bright be your lamps, your vessels filled To feed the wasting store. 2 He comes, He comes, may be the cry In midnight’s deepest gloom; Should then our lamps be void of oil, How sad must be our doom? 3 In vain, when ’tis too late, we seek A fresh supply to get; In vain, when once the door is shut, Our folly we regret. 4 Open, Lord, open, we may cry, But then can’t move His heart; I know you not, the Judge will say, Depart from Me, depart. 5 Lord, for Thy coming may I wait With loins well girt about; In heavenly virtues may I shine, Nor let my lamp go out. 6 Then will the Bridegroom me admit, And own me for His friend; My soul shall feast on heavenly love, Nor shall the banquet end.

Heal my weakness; heal my grief: Take away my tribulation; Be to all my ills relief: Ills the Fall on me hath brought, Ills I for myself have wrought: Let Thy blood be my heart bedewing, Ever be my peace be renewing. 3 Be Thy bleeding wounds impressèd Evermore upon my heart; Thus may every hour be blessèd, Nor my thoughts from Thee depart.
