SS&S 185:  Well our lamps be filled and ready

1. 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.
