[This version may be used, in connexion with the other, for one or more verses; it is intended for the choir alone and must be sung without the organ. This version should only be attempted by good choirs.]

‘Kingsfold’ (No. 574) is also suitable to this hymn.

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
