When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
Will your lamps be burning bright
Will your robes be pure and white
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?
Oh be ready! Oh be ready!
Ready when the Bridegroom comes;
Oh be ready! Oh be ready!
Ready when the Bridegroom comes.
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
Oh be ready for that day
With your sins all washed away
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by.
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
Will your wearied heart rejoice
At the sound of Jesus’ voice
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
Will the sorrows of the past
All be changed to joy at last
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Lord shall call His own
Can you stand before the throne
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by
Will you join the ransomed host
Or be found among the lost
When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?
