EN 3194 Behold the Bridegroom Cometh (Moultrie)

Matt.25.7

Versi Version 1

1

Behold the Bridegroom cometh in

The middle of the night,

And blest is he whose loins are girt,

Whose lamp is burning bright;

But woe to that dull servant, whom

The Master shall surprise

With lamp untrimmed, unburning and

With slumber in his eyes.

2

Do thou, my soul, beware, beware,

Lest thou in sleep sink down,

Lest thou be given o’er to death,

And lose the golden crown;

But see that thou be sober, with

A watchful eye, and thus

Cry—‘Holy, holy, holy God,

Have mercy upon us.’

3

That day, the day of fear, shall come;

My soul, slack not thy toil,

But light thy lamp, and feed it well,

And make it bright with oil;

Who knowest not how soon may sound

The cry at eventide,

‘Behold the Bridegroom comes! Arise!

Go forth to meet the bride.’

4

Beware, my soul; beware, beware,

Lest thou in slumber lie,

And like, the five, remain without,

And knock, and vainly cry;

But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed,

And Christ shall gird thee on

His own bright wedding robe of light—

The glory of the Son.
