Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night
Author: G. Moultrie Hymnal: The English Hymnal #3 (1906) Languages: English Tune Title: SECOND MODE MELODY
Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night
Behold the Bridegroom Cometh (Moultrie)
Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #454 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Behold the Bridegroom cometh in Lyrics: 1. Behold the Bridegroom cometh in
The middle of the night,
And blest is he whose loins are girt,
Whose lamp is burning bright;
But woe to that dull servant, whom
The Master shall surprise
With lamp untrimmed, unburning and
With slumber in his eyes.
2. Do thou, my soul, beware, beware,
Lest thou in sleep sink down,
Lest thou be given o’er to death,
And lose the golden crown;
But see that thou be sober, with
A watchful eye, and thus
Cry—‘Holy, holy, holy God,
Have mercy upon us.’
3. That day, the day of fear, shall come;
My soul, slack not thy toil,
But light thy lamp, and feed it well,
And make it bright with oil;
Who knowest not how soon may sound
The cry at eventide,
‘Behold the Bridegroom comes! Arise!
Go forth to meet the bride.’
4. Beware, my soul; beware, beware,
Lest thou in slumber lie,
And like, the five, remain without,
And knock, and vainly cry;
But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed,
And Christ shall gird thee on
His own bright wedding robe of light—
The glory of the Son. Languages: English Tune Title: SECOND MODE MELODY
Behold the Bridegroom Cometh (Moultrie)
Behold, the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #512 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night,
And blest is he whose loins are girt, whose lamp is burning bright;
But woe to that dull servant, whom the Master shall surprise
With lamp untrimmed, unburning and with slumber in his eyes.
2 Do thou, my soul, beware, beware lest thou in sleep sink down,
Lest thou be given o’er to death, and lose the golden crown;
But see that thou be sober, with a watchful eye, and thus
Cry, "Holy, holy, holy God, have mercy upon us!"
3 That day, the day of fear, shall come; my soul, slack not thy toil,
But light thy lamp, and feed it well, and make it bright with oil;
Who knowest not how soon may sound the cry at eventide,
"Behold the Bridegroom comes! Arise! He come to meet the Bride!"
4 Beware, my soul! take thou good heed lest thou in slumber lie,
And, like the five, remain without, and knock, and vainly cry;
But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed, and Christ shall gird thee on
His own bright wedding robe of light,--the glory of the Son. Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; Watchfulness Tune Title: [Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night]
