Refrain: For the Bridegroom asks you, And the Bridegroom asks me, To put on the wedding garment, For the royal feast prepare; There’s a welcome for you, And a welcome for me, The invitation I’ve accepted I’ll be there. 2 Not a soul on earth is slighted; “Whosoever will,” said He; I’m so glad that He invited An unworthy guest like me. [Refrain] 3 O be ready for the warning That may come by night or day; If at midnight or at morning, Do you loiter on the way. [Refrain] 4 Keep your faith-light calm and steady, Never doubt the promise made, But be ever, always ready, In your wedding robe arrayed.

Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell.
