HYMN 653

(FE 679) 13S
“Behold, the bride groom cometh and 
five of them were wise" - Matt. 25:2



1.  OUR lamps are trimm‘d and burning, 

     Our robes are white and clean 

     We’ve tarried for the Bridegroom 

     Oh may we enter in

     We know we've nothing worthy 

     That we can call our own

     The light, the oil the robes we wear, 

     All come from Him alone.

Chorus: Behold the Bridegroom cometh 

              And all may enter in;

              Whose lamps are trimm‘d and burning 

              Whose robes are white and clean.


2.  Go forth go forth to meet Him 

     The way is open now,

     All lighted with the glory
  
     Thats streaming from his brow, 

     Accept the invitation 

     Beyond de-ser-ving kind make no 

     delay but take your lamps 

     And joy eternal find.

Chorus: Behold the Bridegroom...


3.  We see the marriage splendour Within 

     the open door;

     We know that those who enter 

     Are blessed for ever more 

     We see He is more lovely 

     Than all the Sons of men

     But still we know the door once shut

     Will never open again.

Chorus: Behold the Bridegroom cometh 

              And all may enter in;

              Whose lamps are trimm‘d and burning 

              Whose robes are white and clean.  Amen
