<p>Once, forth to meet the bridegroom,<br>
At night ten virgins went;<br>
Five lamps were trimmed for burning,<br>
In five the oil was spent,<br>
And while they slept and slumbered,<br>
At midnight rose the shout<br>
Behold the bridegroom cometh,<br>
To meet him go ye out.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Watch ye, therefore, watch I say,<br>
Watch ye, therefore, watch and pray;<br>
Ye know not the hour, ye know not the day<br>
The Son of Man may come.</p>
<p>Then all the foolish virgins<br>
Their need began to tell;<br>
And all the wise ones answered,<br>
Go ye to them that sell.<br>
The foolish virgins hastened,<br>
In darkness, fear, and shame,<br>
The wise ones ready waited,<br>
And lo the bridegroom came!</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Lord, Lord, unto us open,<br>
The foolish virgins cried;<br>
&#8220;I know ye not,&#8221; unto them<br>
The bridegroom&#8217;s voice replied.<br>
O Christians, learn the lesson,<br>
Your lamps be wise and trim,<br>
And when the Bridegroom cometh,<br>
Go gladly in with Him.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
