Quase Meia-Noite

Church, watch
For you do not know the day or the hour
When the bridegroom will come

There were ten virgins
Five foolish and five wise
Who, taking their lamps
Went out to meet the Bridegroom

But the foolish ones did not reserve the oil
Those who reserved were the wise
And as the Bridegroom delayed
They fell asleep

But at midnight, a cry was heard
Here comes the Bridegroom, go out to meet him
And the foolish ones who did not reserve the oil
Could not go with the Bridegroom
They did not feel His embrace

And this story will repeat itself
Our Bridegroom will return
He will catch the world by surprise
And even the church, only those who reserved the oil
Renounced all sin
Will go out to meet the Bridegroom
And be embraced in the heavens

It's almost midnight, Jesus is coming back
How are your garments?
Are you using your talents?
It's almost midnight and you're still sleeping
Where is your oil?
The gates are already opening
It's almost midnight
A roar will be heard
Get ready for the Lamb's wedding
The Bridegroom is coming!

It's almost midnight, Jesus is coming back
How are your garments?
Are you using your talents?
It's almost midnight and you're still sleeping
Where is your oil?
The gates are already opening
It's almost midnight
A roar will be heard
Get ready for the Lamb's wedding
The Bridegroom is coming!
He is coming!

Then the kingdom of heaven
Will be like the ten virgins who
Taking their lamps
Went out to meet the Bridegroom
Five of them were wise
Five foolish

The foolish ones, taking their lamps
Did not take oil in their vessels
But the wise took their lamps
And the reserved oil
And as the Bridegroom delayed, they all fell asleep

And behold, at midnight, a cry was heard
Here comes the Bridegroom! Go out to meet him!
But the foolish ones
When they realized their lamps were going out
Asked the wise for oil
Who told them: No
Lest there be not enough for us and you
Go to those who sell
And buy oil for yourselves!

And when they went out to buy oil
Behold, the Bridegroom arrived
And they, in despair, began to cry out
Open the door for us Lord

Open the door, Lord
Open the door, Lord
They cried out in despair
Open the door, Lord
Open the door, Lord
It was too late
Open the door, Lord
They were not prepared and stayed
Open the door, Lord

It's almost midnight, Jesus is coming back
How are your garments?
Are you using your talents?
It's almost midnight and you're still sleeping
Where is your oil?
The gates are already opening
It's almost midnight
A roar will be heard
Get ready for the Lamb's wedding
The Bridegroom is coming!

The Bridegroom is coming
The Bridegroom is coming
The Bridegroom is coming, the Bridegroom is coming
The Bridegroom is coming
The Bridegroom is coming
The Bridegroom is coming

It's almost midnight
