1. Are you ready for the Bridegroomr /> When he comes, when he comes?r /> Are you ready for the Bridegroomr /> When he comes, when he comes?r /> Behold, he cometh! behold, he cometh!r /> Be robed and ready; for the Bridegroom comes.r />

2. Have your lamps trimm'd and burningr /> When he comes, when he comes:r /> Have your lamps trimm'd and burning r /> When he comes, when he comes;r /> He quickly cometh! he quickly cometh!r /> O soul, be ready when the Bridegroom comes. [Chorus]r />

3. We will all go out to meet himr /> When he comes, when he comes;r /> We will all go out to meet himr /> When he comes, when he comes;r /> He surely cometh! he surely cometh!r /> We'll go to meet him when the Bridegroom comes. [Chorus]r />

4. We will chant alleluiasr /> When he comes, when he comes;r /> We will chant alleluiasr /> When he comes, when he comes;r /> Lo! now he cometh! lo! now he cometh!r /> Sing alleluia! for the Bridegroom comes. [Chorus]
