the epiphany of the maidens

the epiphany of the maidens

some joy and the others sorrow

the harvest time unknown

but we must be ready

Christ will return

like a thief in the night

we must be awake

we must be working

our wicks trimmed

our lamps burning

the epiphany of the maidens

some joy and the other sorrow

the harvest time unknown

but we must be ready
