The Bridegroom Came

Ten vir­gins went forth with their shin­ing lamps

To wel­come the Bride­groom home;

I wonder how ma­ny are watch­ing now

To see when the Lord will come?

I won­der how many are watch­ing now

To see when the Lord will come?

Only five took their ves­sels of oil that night

Prepared for the mid­night cry;

I won­der how ma­ny would glad­ly hear

The Bride­groom is draw­ing nigh?

I won­der how ma­ny would glad­ly hear

The Bride­groom is draw­ing nigh?

And the five that were fool­ish said

Give us oil.

The wise an­swered

No

not so.

I won­der how ma­ny of us will hear

The sor­row­ful an­swer

No.

I won­der how ma­ny of us will hear

The sor­row­ful an­swer

No.

To the five who were rea­dy the Bride­groom said

The mar­riage come in and see;

I won­der how ma­ny will go with Him

To live through eter­ni­ty?

I won­der how ma­ny will go with Him

To live through eter­ni­ty?
