Have You the Garment of White?

Harriet E. Jones • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 22:12

Verse 1

The King bids you come and partake of the feast; For all there is room, even, unto the least; But, if you would enter the palace so fair, The pure wedding garment you surely must wear.

Chorus

Oh, have you the garment of white, brother, If called to the banquet tonight— The beautiful garment of white, brother, They wear in the palace of light?

Verse 2

Oh, will you be speechless when questioned by One Who offered you mercy thro’ Jesus his Son? Who opened a fountain that sinners below Might wear a bright garment as spotless as snow?

Chorus

Oh, have you the garment of white, brother, If called to the banquet tonight— The beautiful garment of white, brother, They wear in the palace of light?

Verse 3

Dear friend, are you ready to meet the great King, And join in the anthem the glorified sing? Oh, will you be welcome within that pure home, Where none but the white-robed are suffered to come?

Chorus

Oh, have you the garment of white, brother, If called to the banquet tonight— The beautiful garment of white, brother, They wear in the palace of light?
