When The Bridegroom Comes

Author: Charles Walker Ray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12881 First Line: When in robes of light, and in glory bright Refrain First Line: Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes? Lyrics: 1 When in robes of light, and in glory bright, Behold, the Bridegroom comes; What a shout shall rise, and with what surprise Shall we see Him come from the parting skies? For His own beloved who have faithful proved, Behold, the Bridegroom comes. Refrain: Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes? Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes? With the dawn of day, with the noontide bright, In the evening gray, in the hours of night; Will you be ready? Will you be ready? Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes? 2 Thro’ all earth and sky, shall be heard the cry Behold, the Bridegroom comes; All the earth shall quake, and its pillars shake, And the dead shall from their long slumbers wake; While afar and near, all the world shall hear, Behold, the Bridegroom comes. [Refrain] 3 The archangel will every bosom thrill, Behold, the Bridegroom comes; What an hour ’twill be when with bended knee, The unsaved the King in His beauty see! And with dire dismay, and despair shall say, Behold, the Bridegroom comes. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When in robes of light, and in glory bright]
