No, //never, no// I could never forsake Him;
          He showed me the greatest love, when He came to save my soul,
              No, //never, no// I never could forsake the Lord Jesus.
                                2
             Prudent virgins are those members of the Lord's Church,
                 They follow the Savior, Jesus Christ the King;
                They prepared their oil, and their lamp is flaming,
                 Because they're awaiting their Savior's return.
                                3
               Others who are weary walk with tears of sadness,
                  Because they are feeling a great bitter pain;
                Because the divine judge, with His flaming power,
                Has denied them entrance to His blessed home.
                                4
               Which are you my brother? Of those who are joyful,
                   Or of those who suffer separation's pain;
                If you like rejoicing, stand up tall, keep fighting,
                  Diligently working to save your dear soul.
