<p>“Behold, the Bridegroom draweth nigh”<br>
|
|
Hear ye the oft repeated cry?<br>
|
|
Go forth into the midnight dim;<br>
|
|
For blest are they whom He shall find<br>
|
|
With ready heart and watchful mind;<br>
|
|
Go forth, my soul, to Him.</p>
|
|
<p>“Behold, the Bridegroom cometh by,”<br>
|
|
The call is echoed from the sky:<br>
|
|
Go forth, ye servants, watch and wait:<br>
|
|
The slothful cannot join His train;<br>
|
|
No careless ones can entrance gain;<br>
|
|
Awake, my soul, ’tis late.</p>
|
|
<p>The wise will plead with one accord,<br>
|
|
“O holy, holy, holy Lord,<br>
|
|
On us Thy quick’ning grace bestow,<br>
|
|
That none may reach the door too late,<br>
|
|
When Thou shalt enter at the gate<br>
|
|
And to Thy kingdom go.”</p>
|
|
<p>“Behold, the Bridegroom draweth near,”<br>
|
|
The warning falls on every ear:<br>
|
|
That night of dread shall come to all:<br>
|
|
Behold, my soul, thy lamp so dim,<br>
|
|
Rise, rise the smoking flax to trim;<br>
|
|
Soon shalt thou hear His call.</p>
