Will 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!
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?
Oh, be ready! Oh be ready!
Oh, be ready
when the Bridegroom comes!
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?
Oh, be ready! Oh be ready!
Oh, be ready
when the Bridegroom comes!
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?
Oh, be ready! Oh be ready!
Oh, be ready
when the Bridegroom comes!
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!
Oh, be ready! Oh be ready!
Oh, be ready
when the Bridegroom comes!
