Text Based On Matthew Chapter 25
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom
came; and they that were ready went in with
him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Our Lamps Are Trimmed And Burning
Our lamps are trimmed and burning,
Our robes are white and clean;
We've tarried for the Bridegroom,
Oh, may we enter in?
We know we've nothing worthy
That we can call our own —
The light, the oil, the robes we wear,
Are all from Him alone.
Refrain
Behold the Bridegroom cometh!
And all may enter in
Whose lamps are trimmed and burning
Whose robes are white and clean.
Go forth, go forth to meet Him,
The way is open now,
All lighted with the glory
That's streaming from His brow.
Accept the invitation
Beyond deserving kind;
Make no delay, but take thy lamps,
And joy eternal find.
Refrain
We see the marriage splendor
Within the open door;
We know that those who enter
Are blest forevermore.
We see His is more lovely
Than all the sons of men,
But still we know the door, once shut,
Will never open again.
Refrain
