Well our lamps be filled and ready, When the Bridegroom comes ? And our lights be clear and steady, When the Bridegroom comes ? In the night, . . . that solemn night, . . . Will our lamps be burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes ? Oh, be ready ! Oh, be ready ! Oh, be ready when the Bridegroom comes !
2. Shall we hear a welcome sounding, When the Bridegroom comes ? And a shout of joy resounding, When the Bridegroom comes ? In the night, that solemn night, Will our lamps be burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes !
3. Don't delay our preparation Till the Bridegroom comes ; Lest there be a separation, When the Bridegroom comes. In the night, that solemn night, Will our lamps be burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes ?
4. It may be a time of sorrow, When the Bridegroom comes ; If our oil we hope to borrow, When the Bridegroom comes. In the night, that solemn night, Will our lamps be burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes ?
5. Oh, there'll be a glorious meeting When the Bridegroom comes ! And a hallelujah greeting, When the Bridegroom comes ! In the night, that joyful night, With our lamps all burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes.
