The Midnight Cry 115
Tune: Southern Harmony, 1835
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: Baptist Harmony, 1834
Meter: Particular Meter: 7,6,7,6,7,6,7,7
When the midnight cry began,
O what lamentation,
Thousands sleeping in their sins,
Neglecting their salvation.
Lo, the Bridegroom is at hand,
Who will kindly treat Him?
Surely all the waiting band
Will now go forth to meet Him.
