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.
