Transcript

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight, there was a cry made. Behold!

Behold, the bridegroom!

The bridegroom, he comes. Go ye out to meet him.

The bridegroom, he is coming. Gather your things and come quickly. Sarah, Hannah, he is coming. He is coming. The bridegroom! Make haste! He comes!

Please, give us of your oil. Our lamps, they're going out. No, not so, lest there be not enough for us and you. Go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Let us return and get oil.

Search everywhere. If you find something, tell me.

I found some! I found some!

Oh!

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] [DOOR LOCKING] Lord, Lord, open to us! Please!

Please! Open unto us. Open!

Verily I say unto you, ye know me not.

[CRYING] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

[MUSIC - "DROP BY DROP"] (SINGING) A drop for an act of kindness, a drop for a righteous deed. Another drop is given for helping those in need. A drop of oil is added for ev'ry time we care, for ev'ry hour of selfless service, for every humble prayer. And when we wake at midnight to go and meet the Lord, lamps lit by righteousness lead us to our reward.

Who has been foolish? Who has been wise? Who greets His coming with hope in their eyes? Who will be ready when the great day arrives? They with their lamps full, they that are wise. At His Second Coming, those who will abide have let His Holy Spirit be their constant guide.

A drop for an act of mercy, a drop for an gift of love. And so each drop is added from a loving Source above. A drop of oil is given for ev'ry time we share, for ev'ry thought of heaven, for ev'ry humble prayer. And when we wake at midnight to go and meet the Lord, lamps lit by righteousness lead us to our reward.

Lamps lit by righteousness lead us to our reward.

They that are Wise
