Late! Too Late

Author: Tennyson Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #285 (1885) First Line: Late! late, so late! and dark the night and chill Lyrics: 1 Late! late, so late! and dark the night and chill! Late! late, so late! but we can enter still! Too late! too late! ye cannot enter now! 2 No light had we; for that we do repent, And learning this the Bridegroom will relent. 3 Though we are late—and dark and chill the night! O may we yet find favor in His sight. 4 Have we not heard, the Bridegroom is so sweet, O let us in that we may kiss His feet. Too late! too late! ye cannot enter now; Too late! too late! ye cannot enter now. Languages: English Tune Title: [Late! late, so late! and dark the night and chill]
