----
While the [[Christ The Bridegroom (O Nymphios)|Bridegroom]] tarried, they slumbered and slept:
Give ear, ye prudent, to our Lord's parable, for it is all light.
All of them slept, both the foolish and the wise --
The good die, as the wise virgins slept;
And the bad die, as the foolish also slept.
Behold, all creation looketh for the coming of the [[Christ The Bridegroom(O Nymphios)|Bridegroom]],
Christ, Who cometh at the end with His angels.
But since He hath tarried, all generations slumber and sleep
