Rejoice! Rejoice! Our Bridegroom's coming,
|
|
| 1. | Rejoice! Rejoice! Our Bridegroom's coming, |
| | And the time will not be long |
| | Before we hail that wedding morning |
| | And lift up the glad new song. |
| | Oh, wondrous day! Oh, glorious morning, |
| | When the Christ we love shall come; |
| | With vessels filled and lamps all burning |
| | Let us welcome His return. |
| | Rejoice! Rejoice! Our Bridegroom's |
| | coming |
| | And the time will not be long |
| | Before we hail that wedding morning |
| | And lift up the glad new song. |
| 2. | Oh, let us now redeem each moment, |
| | More the precious oil to buy, |
| | And have our vessels filled with ointment |
| | Ere we hear the midnight cry. |
| 3. | Oh, what a joy it is preparing |
| | For our wedding with the Lord, |
| | E'en in the tribulations sharing |
| | For the bliss of such reward! |
| 4. | Oh, with what rapture and rejoicing |
| | Shall the wedding day begin; |
| | And then a thousand years of dining |
| | At the marriage feast with Him! |
