At the Coming of the Bridegroom
Author: Jennie Wilson Appears in 3 hymnals Refrain First Line: Oh, my brother, are you ready Lyrics: 1 At the coming of the Bridegroom
Will your lamp be burning bright?
Should the cry "Go forth to meet him"
Reach you in the slumbrous night,
Chorus:
Oh, my brother, are you ready,
When the thrilling call you hear?
Lo! the heav'nly Bridegroom cometh;
Will it bring you joy or fear?
2 At the coming of the Bridegroom
Will you join in happy songs?
Sweetest strains of loving praises
Rising from rejoicing throngs? [Chorus]
3 Will you, at the Bridegroom's coming.
Be in wedding garments drest?
Will you to the marriage supper
Enter as a welcome guest? [Chorus]
4 For the coming of the Bridegroom,
With the faithful watch and wait,
Lest you at the banquet portals
Hear the solemn words, "Too late." [Chorus] Used With Tune: [At the coming of the Bridegroom]

Angels Broke The Seal
Author: Caroline D. Howe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Angels clothed in shining raiment Lyrics: 1 Angels clothed in shining raiment
Broke the seal and pierced the tomb,
While their faces, like the lightning,
All the shuddering depths illume.
Roman soldiers fly affrighted,
As the tidings they reveal,
Christ is risen, say the angels
Sent of God to break the seal.
2 Lo! we thank Him for their mission,
As we toward His temples throng,
Bringing forth spring’s fairest blossoms,
Lifting high our noblest song.
Lifting, loving, tender Savior,
While Thy sacrifice we feel,
From these hearts in guilt that languish
Bid Thine angels break the seal.
3 Roll away the stone forever
From all hearts that lie in gloom,
Bid the blessèd light of Heaven
Angel-like their depths illume.
So shall we, redeemed and risen,
In our Father’s presence kneel,
Blessing Him whose white robed angels
Broke for us the earthly seal. Used With Tune: ADDIS ABABA Text Sources: Ashes for Flame (Portland, Maine: Loring, Short, & Harmon, 1885)
