When The Bridegroom Cometh By And By

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

Will your lamps be burning bright,

Will your robes be pure and white,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?

Refrain

Oh be ready! Oh be ready!

Ready when the Bridegroom comes;

Oh be ready! Oh be ready!

Ready when the Bridegroom comes.

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

Oh be ready for that day,

With your sins all washed away,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by.

Refrain

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

Will your wearied heart rejoice

At the sound of Jesus' voice,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?

Refrain

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

Will the sorrows of the past

All be changed to joy at last

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?

Refrain

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Lord shall call His own,

Can you stand before the throne,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?

Refrain

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by,

Will you join the ransomed host,

Or be found among the lost,

When the Bridegroom cometh by and by?

Refrain
