The Wedding Garment

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 22:12

Verse 1

The King has made a marriage, A marriage for His Son, And to the glorious banquet He calleth ev’ry one; And yet, though all are welcome The precious feast to share, Without a wedding garment There’s none can enter there.

Chorus

Have you this wedding garment fair, Have you this wedding garment fair? Without this garment, this spotless garment, There’s none can enter there.

Verse 2

This royal entertainment Admits of no delay; Then make no vain excuses To keep yourselves away; To meet the Heav’nly Bridegroom, Let ev’ry heart prepare, His righteousness the garment That none must fail to wear.

Chorus

Have you this wedding garment fair, Have you this wedding garment fair? Without this garment, this spotless garment, There’s none can enter there.

Verse 3

And when the Master cometh, The bridal guest to see, Among that vast assembly, If any there should be Without the spotless garment, That none must fail to wear, The door would close against them, They could not enter there.

Chorus

Have you this wedding garment fair, Have you this wedding garment fair? Without this garment, this spotless garment, There’s none can enter there.
