Hymn 653 – OUR lamps are trimm‘d and burning | C&S English Hymnary

1. OUR lamps are trimm‘d and burning, Our robes are white and clean We’ve tarried for the Bridegroom Oh may we enter in We know we've nothing worthy That we can call our own The light, the oil the robes we wear, All come from Him alone. Chorus: Behold the Bridegroom cometh And all may enter in; Whose lamps are trimm‘d and burning Whose robes are white and clean. 2. Go forth go forth to meet Him The way is open now, All lighted with the glory Thats streaming from his brow, Accept the invitation Beyond de-ser-ving kind make no delay but take your lamps And joy eternal find. Chorus: Behold the Bridegroom... 3. We see the marriage splendour Within the open door; We know that those who enter Are blessed for ever more We see He is more lovely Than all the Sons of men But still we know the door once shut Will never open again. Chorus: Behold the Bridegroom cometh And all may enter in; Whose lamps are trimm‘d and burning Whose robes are white and clean AMEN
