When the Bridegroom cometh

Author: Eben E. Rexford Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the Bridegroom cometh, At dawn, or dark or day, May we be ready, waiting, For He will not delay; Put on the wedding garment, He may be drawing nigh; Alas for us, my brother, If He should pass us by! Refrain: When the Bridegroom cometh, For us He will not wait; Get ready then to meet Him, Before it is too late. 2 When the Bridegroom cometh, What if our lamps burn dim? There’ll be no time to fill them,— Too late the light to trim; He told us He was coming, And bade us ready be; If He should go without us, Alas for you and me! [Refrain] 3 When the Bridegroom cometh, We'll meet Him at the gate, All ready for the journey; For us He need not wait; So bring the wedding garment, He may be very near; And fill the lamp and trim it Before the Lord is here.

When the Hearts we Fondly Cherish

Author: Grace J. Frances Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the hearts we fondly cherish, From our home are far away, For the absent ones returning, How we long, and watch, and pray; How we look to see them coming, When the moon is on the hill; And the lonely star of midnight Finds us watching, praying still. 2 Yes, we look for their returning, Till our aching eyes grow dim; But the Master too is coming; Are we watching now for Him? O the sleepless, anxious moments That for others oft we spend, Tho' we fail to heed the counsel Of our kindest, dearest Friend. 3 Place the watch lamp in the window, Let its rays burn bright and clear, Lest the Bridegroom should surprise us, For His coming may be near; “Watch, and be ye also ready.” Were His parting words to all; He may come at early dawning, Or when evening shadows fall.
