|
<p>Behold the Bridegroom cometh in<br>
|
|
The middle of the night,<br>
|
|
And blest is he whose loins are girt,<br>
|
|
Whose lamp is burning bright;<br>
|
|
But woe to that dull servant, whom<br>
|
|
The Master shall surprise<br>
|
|
With lamp untrimmed, unburning and<br>
|
|
With slumber in his eyes.</p>
|
|
<p>Do thou, my soul, beware, beware,<br>
|
|
Lest thou in sleep sink down,<br>
|
|
Lest thou be given o’er to death,<br>
|
|
And lose the golden crown;<br>
|
|
But see that thou be sober, with<br>
|
|
A watchful eye, and thus<br>
|
|
Cry—‘Holy, holy, holy God,<br>
|
|
Have mercy upon us.’</p>
|
|
<p>That day, the day of fear, shall come;<br>
|
|
My soul, slack not thy toil,<br>
|
|
But light thy lamp, and feed it well,<br>
|
|
And make it bright with oil;<br>
|
|
Who knowest not how soon may sound<br>
|
|
The cry at eventide,<br>
|
|
‘Behold the Bridegroom comes! Arise!<br>
|
|
Go forth to meet the bride.’</p>
|
|
<p>Beware, my soul; beware, beware,<br>
|
|
Lest thou in slumber lie,<br>
|
|
And like, the five, remain without,<br>
|
|
And knock, and vainly cry;<br>
|
|
But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed,<br>
|
|
And Christ shall gird thee on<br>
|
|
His own bright wedding robe of light—<br>
|
|
The glory of the Son.</p>
